Description
If recent trends are anything to go by, the current crop of sci-fi authors and filmmakers are a gang of morbid, glass-half-empty nihilists. As dystopian visions clutter our book and DVD shelves – from The Terminator to The Hunger Games – no one seems willing to look on the bright side and embrace a positive, utopian future. Four of London’s leading genre experts – novelists Lavie Tidhar (Osama) and Paul McAuley (Fairyland), and academics John Clute (The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction) and Farah Mendlesohn (The Cambridge Companion to Science Fiction) – explore the history of SF’s possible futures, debate the influence and importance of speculative fiction, and ask which way to real world is heading: into utopian heaven or dystopian hell?
