Upamanyu Pablo Mukherjee is Professor of English and Comparative Literary Studies at the University of Warwick.
Reviews‘Final Frontiers is path breaking not only in being the
first book-length study of non-Anglophone Indian science fiction,
but also in Mukherjee’s provocative consideration of the form
alongside the “combined and uneven” historical axes of Cold War
Non-Alignment, Nehruvian techno-scientific policy, and Indian
modernization in the twentieth-century world-system. This
intelligent, sophisticated, and scrupulous book makes a much-needed
contribution to postcolonial studies, science fiction studies,
world literature studies, and cultural studies and will no doubt
inform scholarly conversation in these fields for some time to
come.'
Eric D. Smith, University of Alabama in Huntsville
'This is an exciting and vital new work in the field of sf studies.
Its focus on an under-represented set of authors is welcome; its
analytical frameworks are contemporary and productive, and give new
and exciting insights and directions to the fields of sf studies,
energy humanities and world-literature.'
Rhys Williams, University of Glasgow
'Final Frontiers is a meticulously researched and engagingly argued
book that foregrounds an sf tradition largely unknown outside of
South Asia.'
Suparno Banerjee, Science Fiction Studies
