( ) Very enjoyable and coherent, though necessarily incomplete, survey of science fiction from its creators and progenitors to 2015. Wolfe is a great advocate for the importance and literary qualities of science fiction, while not being afraid to call out early science fiction in particular for its gender, racial and other biases as well as for its simplicity--driven by writers trying to scratch out a living by selling stories sometimes for 1/2 cent a word! Great to see him single out stories like "Flowers for Algernon" and innovative writers like Lavie Tidhar. This is a very enjoyable 12 hours and can be viewed on Kanopy through your public library. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

"Robots, spaceships, futuristic megacities, planets orbiting distant stars. These icons of science fiction are now in our daily news. Science fiction, once maligned as mere pulp, has motivated cutting-edge scientific research, inspired new technologies, and changed how we view everyday life -- and its themes and questions permeate popular culture. Take an unparalleled look at the influence, history, and greatest works of science fiction with illuminating insights and fascinating facts about this wide-ranging genre. If you think science fiction doesn't have anything to do with you, this course deserves your attention. And if you love science fiction, you can't miss this opportunity to trace the arc of science fiction's evolution, understand the hallmarks of great science fiction, and delve deeply into classics while finding some new favorites."--Provided by publisher.
