Shockwaves of Possibility: Essays on Science Fiction, Globalization, and Utopia - Ralahine Utopian Studies New edition
Phillip E. Wegner
This book explores the deep utopianism of one of the most significant modern cultural practices: science fiction. It contends that utopianism is not simply a motif in science fiction - alongside technology, time travel, alien encounters, conspiracies, alternate histories or the post-apocalypse - but is fundamental to the genre's narrative dynamics.
