AckermanI would like to say I am delighted with this rich repository of titles of science fiction stories, novels, and films, but I am not. Unless their subject is minute, writers must make choices to allow room for detail, explanation, comparison, and argument, as the subject requires. Seed refuses to make these choices. He tries to build a "mega-intertext" such as he describes in Chapter 6. Therefore within the space of what used to be called a pocket book, he tries to examine major themes and methods of (all) science fiction and cinema to date. He mixes categories, treating, for example, the city, cyborgs, and computers as subtopics of technology, but space ships elsewhere. He refuses to separate film from prose fiction, threatening the focus of every chapter. Wouldn't it have been more satisfying to devote three Oxford Very Short Intros to this topic, focusing on short fiction in one, long fiction in another, and film in a third, allowing for a lengthier discussion or more detailed comparison of at least a few exemplars And come to think of it, what about the poem in this mode--Muir's "The Horses" As if these problems weren't enough, the book is marred by bloated, indirect writing, as in the last sentence of Chapter 5.22 of 23 people found the following review helpful.An exceptionally fine brief introduction to an extremely complex subjectBy Robert MooreThis outstanding brief introduction to science fiction (henceforth, SF) fills a real need for a short survey of the subject. There are many other excellent surveys of SF. I have in my library a number of very fine books on SF, all of which complement one another by looking at the subject from slightly different angles, including Brian Aldiss's Trillion Year Spree: The History of Science Fiction, Darko Suvin's Metamorphoses of Science Fiction, Adam Roberts's The History of Science Fiction (Palgrave Histories of Literature), Thomas M. Disch's The DREAMS OUR STUFF IS MADE OF: How Science Fiction Conquered the World, and Edward James and Farah Menlesohn's The Cambridge Companion to Science Fiction (Cambridge Companions to Literature), and a much older but classic survey, New Maps of Hell. I also should mention Vivian Sobchack's Screening Space: The American Science Fiction Film, which provides the best overview of the SF film. No two of these surveys agrees completely with another, and none entirely contradicts another.Seed's book is arranged around a few themes: space travel, alien encounters, technology, utopias/dystopias, time travel, and the field of science fiction studies. The book also contains, as most of the Very Short Introductions do, an excellent bibliography.While most of the books I referenced above focus exclusively on SF books - or with the case of Sobchack's book, film - Seed focuses on both. He will write about THE FOREVER WAR on one page and Fritz Lang's METROPOLIS a couple of pages later. And I think this is appropriate. Today the various media cross pollinate that keeping them apart is a tad artificial. My only complaint is Seed largely omitting television SF from his book. Granted he had only a small number of pages to work with, but in the past twenty-five years some of the best SF has come from TV in shows like BATTLESTAR GALACTICA and some of the STAR TREK series, not to mention SF lite like THE X-FILES.Still, I strongly recommend this for anyone who wants to get an excellent take on the history of SF. I do not recommend that anyone wanting to know more about the field read only one or even two book. There are many ways of looking at the subject and each brings something different to the table.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful.The other reviewers are right-this is excellentBy Jerry RichardsonThis is an excellent overview and introduction to print and film science fiction. The emphasis is on Anglo-American science fiction but also considers widely translated authors such as Stanislaw Lem and Jules Verne. The author shows that ideas, plots, and themes of science fiction go much further back in history than most people think. The author also considers a wider range of books from the past that would be considered as science fiction if they were written today such as _The Purple Cloud_. Toward the end of the book there is a discussion of black and women science fiction writers who generally are not well covered in traditional discussions of science fiction. The book also discusses the peculiar sub-culture of science fiction fandom with it's clubs, magazines, and conventions.See all 11 customer reviews...
