Book Description
The 'Sci-Fi Boxed Set: 160+ Space Adventures, Lost Worlds, Dystopian Novels & Apocalyptic Tales' represents an unparalleled amalgamation of literary brilliance spanning several centuries, embracing a myriad of voices that have shaped the science fiction genre. With works ranging from the pioneering speculative visions of Mary Shelley and H.G. Wells to the complex dystopias of Ayn Rand and Kurt Vonnegut, this collection showcases a breathtaking diversity in storytelling and thematic exploration. The assemblage stands out for its incorporation of early sci-fi novellas that paved the way for modern science fiction, alongside seminal apocalyptic narratives that question the very essence of humanity and our place in the universe. Standout pieces delve into uncharted galaxies, unravel dystopian societies, and craft tales of lost worlds with an imaginative fervor that continues to inspire and challenge the literary canon. The contributing authors and editors, drawn from various epochs and cultures, bring with them a rich tapestry of backgrounds, each contributing uniquely to the tapestry of science fiction. Icons like Edgar Allan Poe and Philip K.

American Cities in Post-Apocalyptic Science Fiction
Author: Robert Yeates
Publisher: UCL Press
ISBN: 1800080980
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 212
Book Description
Visions of the American city in post-apocalyptic ruin permeate literary and popular fiction, across print, visual, audio and digital media. American Cities in Post-Apocalyptic Science Fiction explores the prevalence of these representations in American culture, drawing from a wide range of primary and critical works from the early-twentieth century to today. Beginning with science fiction in literary magazines, before taking in radio dramas, film, video games and expansive transmedia franchises, Robert Yeates argues that post-apocalyptic representations of the American city are uniquely suited for explorations of contemporary urban issues. Examining how the post-apocalyptic American city has been repeatedly adapted and repurposed to new and developing media over the last century, this book reveals that the content and form of such texts work together to create vivid and immersive fictional spaces in ways that would otherwise not be possible. Chapters present media-specific analyses of these texts, situating them within their historical contexts and the broader history of representations of urban ruins in American fiction. Original in its scope and cross-media approach, American Cities in Post-Apocalyptic Science Fiction both illuminates little-studied texts and provides provocative new readings of familiar works such as Blade Runner and The Walking Dead, placing them within the larger historical context of imaginings of the American city in ruins.

Author: Peter Dickinson
Publisher: Open Road Media
ISBN: 1504003403
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 200
Book Description
CWA Gold Dagger winner Peter Dickinson is back: An Indian doctor joins the English underground to fight racial oppression Dr. P. P. Humayan expects prejudice from the English. Growing up in Bombay, he was raised on stories of the injustices of life in Britain, where racial status is marked on one’s papers and anyone of Celtic descent is born with green skin and forced to live in walled-off ghettos. But when he travels to London to announce that he has solved the genetic mystery of why the Celts are born green, he is shocked by the system’s brutality. Only one English girl is kind to him—and she will soon find herself in mortal peril. When his host family is murdered, Humayan slips underground, joining a small band of rebels who would do anything to see racial equality restored to England. There are powerful men working to maintain the sinister status quo, and bringing them down will be the toughest problem this mathematician has ever faced.
