Anatomy of Science Fiction

Collectively speaking, the authors featured in this anthology do a fine job of peeling the skin off the body of storytelling we call sf to examine specific texts and traditions under the bright light of crtitcal and cultural theory.All of the essays in this volume are outstanding examples of sf scholarship that use theory to illuminate sf while also using sf to complicate readers' understanding of theory. In my experience, that is something that happens too seldom in sf studies, and that alone makes Anatomy of Science Fiction worth reading.
