1999ABE-12714957159The Free Press New York 1999 Clean and tight unread looking hardback first edition of this RARE IN THE UK book. A little shop aged but there is no evidence of it having been read. Ruefully wise as is to be expected of this discursive and visionary writer. He is brilliant when writing about Le Guin or Heinlein and he is knowing and humorous; a rare combination. From the supernatural tales of Edgar Allen Poe to the utopian dreams and technological nightmares of H.G. Wells and Jules Verne to today when it has become a multi-billion dollar global entertainment industry. While he highlights the genre s predictive successes he emphasises its cultural role as both a lens and a medium for the very rapid changes driven by modern technology. Disch traces sci-fi s role in modern life and explains how it has become a cultural battlefield even helping us to adjust to new social realities. But Disch is also critical of the genre and sees its darker expression in the appearance of suicidal UFO cults. Behind the spaceships and aliens Disch reveals the blueprints of the dizzying postmodern future we have already begun to inhabit. This is in a clean and tight cloth two colour binding but it has one slight defect. This may be a production fault. It looks like a 'bumped' corner.
