Science Fiction Cinema: From Outer Space to Cyberspace charts the dimensions of what has become one of the most popular genres in the cinema. 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. Geoff King and Tanya Krzywinska outline the major themes of the genre, from representations of the mad scientist and computer hacker to the relationship between science fiction and postmodernism, exploring isssues such as the meaning of special effects and the influence of science fiction cinema on the entertainment media of the digital age. The Short Cuts series is a comprehensive list of introductory texts covering the full spectrum of Film Studies, specifically designed for building an individually-styled library for all students and enthusiasts of cinema and popular culture.
