Description

Explore the evolution of critical dystopia in science fiction with Dark Horizons: Science Fiction and the Dystopian Imagination. Published by Routledge, this collection brings together an international and interdisciplinary group of scholars to analyze narratives from the end of the twentieth century. The text examines stories that depict worlds more terrifying than the political realities of the 1980s neo-conservative backlash and the 1990s neoliberal hegemony. While these settings appear bleak, the book highlights how utopian horizons within these stories still look toward a more just and different world. Readers will find a deep analysis of how these narratives function. The contributors look at various aspects of the genre, including questions of form, politics, and the politics of form. This book is an essential resource for those studying how science fiction reflects and challenges the social and political structures of our time.
