Description:
The title of this volume attempts to convey the essence of 'cognitive estrangement' in relation to SF and utopia: that by imagining strange worlds we learn to see our own world in a new perspective. The cognitive and political dimension of science-fictional estrangement raises the perennial question, debated or touched upon in most essays in the book, of the relationship between imaginative invention and allegory or fable.
