Environments in Science Fiction: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Environments in Science Fiction" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

The all-new essays in this book respond to the question, How do spaces in science fiction, both built and unbuilt, help shape the relationships among humans, other animals and their shared environments? Spaces, as well as a sense of place or belonging, play major roles in many science fiction works. This book focuses especially on science fiction that includes depictions of the future that include, but move beyond, dystopias and offer us ways to imagine reinventing ourselves and our perspectives; especially our links to and views of new environments. There are ecocritical texts that deal with space/place and science fiction criticism that deals with dystopias but there is no other collection that focuses on the intersection of the two. The essays in this volume treat Shelleys Frankenstein, Capeks War with the Newts, William Morriss News from Nowhere, Le Guins The Word for World Is Forest, Delanys Stars in My Pocket Like Grains of Sand, Philip K. Dicks Do Androids Dream of...

Acknowledgments

Without the help of an array of people this book would not have been possible. For their patience and tenacity I thank all the contributors. The support that Wagner College has provided has been key. I would like to thank the Faculty Personnel Committee and the provost for their support and assistance. The staff of Horrmann Library, as always, provided help with locating sources, even on short notice. Special thanks go to Tim Hickey for his work on the text of the book. Thanks to Don Palumbo, who has been easy to work with and encouraging.

Very special thanks to my constant assistant and sounding board, Mark Wagner.
