Science Fiction
In what N. Katherine Hayles describes as 'this enormously ambitious posthumous volume,' renowned scholar George Slusser offers a definitive version of the argument about the history of science fiction that he developed throughout his career: that several important ideas and texts, routinely overlooked in other critical studies, made significant contributions to the creation of modern science fiction as it developed into a truly global literature. He explores how key thinkers like René Descartes, Benjamin Constant, Thomas DeQuincey, Guy du Maupassant, J.D. Bernal, and Ralph Waldo Emerson influenced and are reflected in twentieth-century science fiction stories from the United States, Great Britain, France, Germany, Poland, and Russia. The conclusion begins with Slusser’s overview of global science fiction in the twenty-first century and discusses recent developments in countries like China, Romania, and Israel. Hayles’s foreword provides a useful summation of the book’s contents, while

Science Fiction Theatre
In the wake of the juvenile space operas of the early 1950s, a groundbreaking series debuted and paved the way for one of viewers' favorite genres today: adult-oriented science fiction. Science Fiction Theatre aired with a fresh anthology-style narrative from the vision of veteran producer Ivan Tors and with compelling narration by Truman Bradley. Created by industry-leading syndicator Ziv Television Programs, the show pioneered a scientifically based approach to aliens, telepathy, and the mysteries of the universe that provided a model for Rod Serling's The Twilight Zone (1959–64) and a myriad of acclaimed programs that followed, including The Outer Limits (1963–65), The Ray Bradbury Theater (1985–92),and Black Mirror (2011–present). This book contextualizes Science Fiction Theatre within the budding American television industry of the 1950s, as powerful networks and independent producers and syndicators vied to create and distribute programming to an audience eager to embrace this

Reimagining Science Fiction
In the first decades of the twenty-first century, science fiction literature has been transformed in many ways, as the genre has reacted to the dominating influence of films, television, and video games, the growing popularity of fantasy, the rise of young adult science fiction and graphic novels, the impact of the internet and social media, and the increasing diversity of the authors, characters, and non-Western ambiences of its stories. This volume endeavors to address these and other changes in two ways. First, there are considerations of new critical approaches to science fiction in response to changing circumstances, including analyses of how evolutionary psychology explains today's science fiction, the emerging subgenre of 'cli-fi' exploring the effects of climate change, the use of science fiction in different areas of the college curriculum, and a statistical method for identifying works of science fiction. Second, there are examinations of significant new authors such as Nalo
