Description
Noga Applebaum's scholarly examination investigates science fiction novels written for children and young adults between 1980 and the present, uncovering the anti-technological bias that paradoxically runs through a genre celebrated for embracing futurism. The book argues that portrayals of technology as a corrupting influence, especially regarding young people's engagement with it, stem from the persistent cultural myth of childhood innocence. Applebaum demonstrates how this perspective manifests in young-adult fiction that promotes a technophobic agenda, functioning as cultural resistance to evolving definitions of childhood and technology's role within it. Published by Routledge as part of the Children's Literature and Culture series, this critical work offers essential analysis for scholars, educators and librarians studying how technology is represented and contested in literature for younger readers.
