Description:
The why's and what-if's of scientific inquiry are the core of science fiction, which then further explores these questions from every imaginable angle. Central to Zentz's text is this connection between science and fiction as he focuses on the increasingly intricate nature of modern science and how difficult it is for science fiction writers to incorporate that knowledge into their works. Zentz addresses these problems by paralleling the history of science fiction literature to the changing paradigms of philosophy and science, and provides a resource volume that encompasses an overview of science fiction writings and explores the conceptual framework in which the genre is grounded.
