Description

Explore the unique world of science fiction with Reading by Starlight from the Popular Fictions Series. Published by Routledge, this text examines the specific characteristics in writing, marketing, and reception that define science fiction as a distinct genre. Damien Broderick analyzes the postmodern self-referentiality of the sci-fi narrative, looking at its coded language and discursive encyclopaedia. The book explains how readers must learn the specific codes and vocabularies of these imaginary worlds to achieve a complete understanding of the texts. This work provides deep analysis through close readings of paradigmatic cyberpunk texts. It also includes perspectives from influential science fiction novelists and theorists, making it a valuable resource for those studying literary theory and movements within the genre.
