    "Of all the 'liberation movements' of the twentieth century, the one that succeeded beyond anyone's wildest dreams did not liberate a class or a gender or a race. It liberated an element: carbon. Today, the 'carbon liberation front' threatens to crash the entire climate system. In Molecular Red, Wark looks for a way to understand, and perhaps even combat, this implacable force. He revisits the work of Alexander Bogdanov--Lenin's rival--and the great proletkult writer and engineer Andrei Platonov. In this reading, the Soviet experiment emerges from the past as an allegory for our time. Moving toward the present, Wark reads Donna Haraway's cyborg critique and science fiction writer Kim Stanley Robinson's Martian utopia as powerful resources for thinking what the carbon liberation front has wrought"--

    Die vorliegende Arbeit geht der Frage nach inwieweit die amerikanische Geschichte Einfluss auf die (amerikanische) Science Fiction Literatur hat und sich auch darin wiederspiegelt. Das Hauptwerk, welches für dieses Unterfangen zu Rate gezogen wurde, ist die preisgekrönte Mars Trilogie des renommierten Science Fiction Autors Kim Stanley Robinson. Kapitel eins behandelt umfassend und ausschließlich das Thema inwiefern sich Ereignisse der amerikanischen Geschichte, besonders der Amerikanische Unabhängigkeitskrieg, sowie seine Ursachen und Nachwirkungen, sich in den drei Mars Büchern, oft nur mit wenigen Modifikationen und natürlich in ein Science Fiction Setting adaptiert, wiederfinden. Es wurde erst ein kurzer Blick auf den thematischen Vorläufer der Mars Trilogie, Robinsons Kalifornien Trilogie, geworfen und kurz deren Verbindung zu den Mars-Romanen erläutert. ...

    "I saw through time" : falling into other histories -- Three futures for California : the Orange County Trilogy -- Terraforming and eco-economics in the Mars Trilogy -- "How to go forward" : catastrophe and comedy in the science in the Capital Trilogy -- "Our one and only home" : humankind in the solar system -- "Working in the next present" in Aurora and New York 2140. "Award-winning epics like the Mars Trilogy and groundbreaking alternative histories like The Days of Rice and Salt have brought Kim Stanley Robinson to the forefront of contemporary science fiction. Mixing subject matter from a dizzying number of fields with his own complex ecological and philosophical concerns, Robinson explores how humanity might pursue utopian social action as a strategy for its own survival. Robert Markley examines the works of an author engaged with the fundamental question of how we -- as individuals, as a civilization, and as a species -- might go forward. By building stories on huge time scales, Robinson lays out the scientific and human processes that fuel humanity's struggle toward a more just and environmentally stable world or system of worlds. His works invite readers to contemplate how to achieve, and live in, these numerous possible futures. They also challenge us to see that SF's literary, cultural, and philosophical significance have made it the preeminent literary genre for examining where we stand today in human and planetary history"--

    Drawing on a wide range of examples from the literary and visual canons—short stories, novels, films, television programs, video games, graphic novels, artworks, and more—in both cult and popular culture, this extensively illustrated book examines how science fiction has provided a human response to science, exploring every reaction from complacency to exhilaration, and from hope to terror. Across five chapters, this volume reviews the role played by science fiction in exploring our world and a multitude of ideas about our relationship with the human condition. Science Fiction encompasses a fascinating range of themes: machines, travel, aliens (the Other), communication, threats, and anxiety. Edited by Glyn Morgan and featuring a range of essays by experts on the subject, as well as interviews with well-known science fiction authors and reproductions of classic ephemera, graphics, and objects throughout, it also focuses on the darker elements of this fascinating genre: the anxieties, fears, dystopias, monsters, and apocalypses that have populated science fiction from the beginning. Ultimately, science fiction asks what makes us human, and what lies in the future to test, threaten, and even destroy humanity. This publication has these questions at its core, making it especially relevant for contemporary readers in an age preoccupied with climate change, the coronavirus pandemic, the development of nuclear missiles and military technologies, and other global challenges
