Pilkington's Science Fiction and Futurism is evidently a labor of
love, and one that offers readers various avenues into the
relationships among sf futurist thinking, and technological and
scientific innovations...it firmly deserves a place in sf
scholarship for its sheer verve, breadth of reference, and love of
what sf does." —Science Fiction Studies
"Pilkington's book shines both by being readable and being
comprehensive. It is a must-have for all scholars and students of
the field." —Matthew Wilhelm Kapell, author of Star Trek as Myth:
Essays on Symbol and Archetype at the Final Frontier
"Not simply an encyclopedia of terminology, but a primer for all
degrees of specialty in science fiction, brimming with references
that bring together two centuries of classic and popular
literature, plus movies and television." —Brian Taves, author of
Hollywood Presents Jules Verne: The Father of Science Fiction on
Screen
