Books, Manuscripts
Since its emergence in the 17th century, science fiction has been a sustained, coherent and subversive check on the promises and pitfalls of science. In their turn, invention and discovery have forced fiction writers to confront the nature and limits of reality. This book explores how this symbiosis shapes what we see, do and dream.
