Reviews

An important intervention in our understanding of science fiction in the context of globalization and popular culture, <i>Science Fiction, New Space Opera, and Neoliberal Globalism</i>offers aprovocative framework for thinking through the interpenetration of colonial ideology and popular culture through the lens of transnational postcolonial theory. An essential read for those interested in the history and futures of science fiction. --Sherryl Vint, University of California Riverside
