Description

A collection of thought-provoking essays and revelations (seven essays, one speech and an extended autobiography) by Brian Aldiss, the master of British science fiction.'The best contemporary writer of science fiction.' - The Guardian'The colossus of science fiction' - New YorkerScience Fiction is everywhere.

Every day fantasy is made fact by new technologies, advancements in science and by connection and communication.

Imaginings of the future allow us to reshape our understanding of all that we experience - and through classic science fiction we are better able to understand the hopes and ambitions of the past.With precision and humour Aldiss uses science fiction as a lens with which to examine some of his favourite authors and their work, the role of art and literature - and to look globally at nationhood and culture.

With humility and rare insight Aldiss also turns the lens on himself and the experiences which informed his long career in the genre.
