The Wesleyan Anthology of Science Fiction

Historic journey through science fiction's evolution.

If you're intrigued by how science fiction reflects and shapes societal views across generations, this anthology is a treasure trove. It's not just a collection of stories; it's a curated historical passage that links the human experience with speculative thought. Imagine immersing yourself in over a century's worth of imagination, where you can traverse from the roots of technocultural dreams to the digital age's apprehensions and aspirations. It's like a literary time machine, perfect for both the sci-fi connoisseur and the curious newcomer.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

The Wesleyan Anthology of Science Fiction features over a 150 years' worth of the best science fiction ever collected in a single volume. The fifty-two stories and critical introductions are organized chronologically as well as thematically for classroom use. Filled with luminous ideas, otherworldly adventures, and startling futuristic speculations, these stories will appeal to all readers as they chart the emergence and evolution of science fiction as a modern literary genre. They also provide a fascinating look at how our Western technoculture has imaginatively expressed its hopes and fears from the Industrial Revolution of the nineteenth century to the digital age of today. A free online teacher's guide accompanies the anthology and offers access to a host of pedagogical aids for using this book in an academic setting. The stories in this anthology have been selected and introduced by the editors of Science Fiction Studies, the world's most respected journal for the critical study of science fiction.
