The Broadview Anthology of Science Fiction - Paperback

by Jason Haslam (Editor)

The Broadview Anthology of Science Fiction takes a "broad view" of science fiction in terms of its histories, themes, forms, and communities. Covering over 200 years, the anthology focuses on short fiction, but also includes comic strips, images, and speculative poetry. It also recognizes the wide range of futurist and SF traditions, including Afrofuturism, Indigenous Futurisms, Feminist SF, and more. Fully annotated with information about authors and texts as well as full explanatory notes, the anthology also includes an introduction that discusses the many competing definitions of--and methods of studying--science fiction, as well as offering an historical and cultural overview of the genre.
