Projections

From The Lord of the Rings - called the greatest novel of the 20th Century - to The Matrix - one of the highest grossing films of all time - from the phenomenon of Star wars to the legacy of Star Trek, from the writings of H.G. Wells to the cinema of George Lucas, science fiction and fantasy have proved to be one of cinema and literature's most enduring and popular genres. Projections examines the history and the people, the science and the society, the lives, times and themes, the cultural impact and the critical response of the dynamic genre that is speculative fiction, as seen through the eyes of some of today's most recognized writers. Including both original and reprinted material, Projections is a Must for every serious science fiction student and enthusiast. Book jacket.
