From lurid comic-book blockbusters to dark dystopian visions,
science fiction is seen as both a powerful cultural barometer of
our times and the product of particular industrial and commercial
frameworks. The authors outline the major themes of the genre,
from representations of the mad scientist and computer hacker to
the relationship between science fiction and postmodernism.
"The best overview of English-language science ficiton cinema
published to date — thorough, clearly written and full of excellent
examples. Highly recommended."

From 1950s sci-fi B-movies to high concept 1990s 'millenial
movies', Stephen Keane looks at the ways in which the
representation of disaster and its aftermath are borne out of both
contextual considerations and the increasing commercial demands

"Providing detailed consideration of key movies within their
social and cultural context, this concise introduction serves its
purpose well and should prove a useful teaching tool."
