How does science fiction envision new forms of life - plausible yet radically different from what we know? Fluid Futures explores how science fiction offers bold, thought-provoking scenarios that challenge our assumptions about time, technology, and the limits of human experience. Rather than predicting the future, sci-fi reveals how emerging developments could unfold in unexpected and transformative ways. As Rod Serling famously said, science fiction is "the improbable made possible." This book examines three core methods science fiction uses to imagine the future: extrapolation, speculation,...
How does science fiction envision new forms of life - plausible yet radically different from what we know? Fluid Futures explores how science fiction offers bold, thought-provoking scenarios that challenge our assumptions about time, technology, and the limits of human experience. Rather than predicting the future, sci-fi reveals how emerging developments could unfold in unexpected and transformative ways. As Rod Serling famously said, science fiction is "the improbable made possible." This book examines three core methods science fiction uses to imagine the future: extrapolation, speculation, and fabulation. Through literature and film, Fluid Futures showcases how sci-fi rethinks time, reconfigures narrative, and constructs possible worlds that stretch our imagination. Instead of imposing a single theory of science fiction, it highlights how the genre itself theorizes and reimagines concepts we take for granted. Key Features:
- Extrapolation, speculation, and fabulation-the three essential techniques sci-fi uses to construct futures
- Deep dives into literature and film, showing how sci-fi envisions alternative realities
- Exploration of time and narrative, revealing how science fiction reshapes our perception of possibility
- A fresh perspective on sci-fi theory, emphasizing how the genre creates new ways of thinking
