  • The Cambridge Companion to Science Fiction
    This page intentionally left blank The Cambridge Companion to Science Fiction Science fiction is at the intersection of numerous fields. It is a literature which draws on popular culture, and which engages in speculation about science, history and all types of social relations. This volume brings together essays by scholars and practitioners of science fiction, which look at the genre from these different angles. After an introduction to the nature of science fiction, historical chapters trace science fiction from Thomas More to the present day, including a chapter on film and television. The second section introduces four important critical approaches to science fiction drawing their theoretical inspi- ration from Marxism, postmodernism, feminism and queer theory. The final and largest section of the book looks at various themes and sub-genres of science fiction. A number of well-known science fiction writers contribute to this volume, including Gwyneth Jones, Ken MacLeod, Brian Stableford, Andy Duncan, James Gunn, Joan Slonczewski and Damien Broderick.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FADEAWAY #37 is a fanzine devoted to science fiction and related fields of interest, and is produced by Robert Jennings, 29 Whiting Rd., Oxford, MA 01540-2035, email [email protected]. Copies are available for a letter of comment, or a print fanzine in trade, or by subscription at a cost of $18.00 for six issues. Letters of comment are much preferred. Any person who has not previously received a copy of this fanzine may receive a sample copy of the current issue for free by sending me your name and address. Publication is bi-monthly. This is the October-November 2013 issue __________________________________________________________________________________________ THE BEST LAID PLANS DEPT. My efforts to prune back the page count of this fanzine and by so doing, to also get the unit weight down so it falls below the kick-over point on the postal scales, have been reasonably successful. I managed to hold the page count this issue to a mere 40 pages. This publican seems to have an organic life of its own, and it resists mightily my efforts to get the page count down to below the 40 page mark. This issue would have been considerably longer if I had not reduced the type size of both my article and the entire letter column. In addition I dropped a buncha letters that I normally would have been happy to run, had the page count not threatened to run amok, again. This time round the editorial comments are also being severely cut back. Regular length editorial ramblings and a full length letter column will return next issue.
