Editors Hassler (Kent State U.) and Wilcox (Georgetown U.) gather essays on the subject of political ideologies in science fiction, showing that most writers in the genre either believe that fate is connected to individual achievement or that humanity must comes to grip with a harsh and unyielding future. The works of Banks, Dick, Russ and Gibson are examined, with contributors also addressing issues of race, gender and polemics, as well as the idea of a "New Man" who has presumably evolved from his ancestors here in the present. Written for those interested in both political science and science fiction, this book also explores how these themes are presented in film and television as well.
