Spacecraft Paperback / softback
by Prof. Timothy (Rita Shea Guffey Chair of English, Rice University, USA) Morton
Part of the Object Lessons series
Paperback / softback
Description
Science fiction is filled with spacecraft. On Earth, actual rockets explode over Texas while others make their way to Mars.
But what are spacecraft, and just what can they teach us about imagination, ecology, democracy, and the nature of objects?
Why do certain spacecraft stand out in popular culture?If ever there were a spacecraft that could be detached from its context, sold as toys, turned into Disney rides, parodied, and flit around in everyone’s head—the Millennium Falcon would be it.
Springing from this infamous Star Wars vehicle, Spacecraft takes readers on an intergalactic journey through science fiction and speculative philosophy, revealing real-world political and ecological lessons along the way.
In this book Timothy Morton shows how spacecraft are never mere flights of fancy.
