Description: Winner of the Hugo Award and the Locus Award, The Dreams Our Stuff Is Made Of is an engrossing journey through the books, movies, and television programs that have shaped our perspective of both the present and the future. In a witty, often irreverent survey of science fiction from Edgar Allan Poe to Philip K. Dick to "Star Trek", Thomas Disch analyzes its impact on technological innovation, fashions, lifestyle, military strategy, the media, and much more.

An enlightening look at the art of science fiction (including tips for writers) and a work of pointed literary and cultural criticism, it delineates exactly how and why this "pulp genre" captures the mind and the imagination -- by extrapolating the future from the present, making the real fantastical, and making the fantastic come true.
