Critical Views of Science Fiction

The Cambridge Companion to Science Fiction (Cambridge Companions to Literature)


In between reading Business (Creating Customer Evangelists and Science fiction books I have managed to squeeze this very good collection of critical articles on Science Fiction. The reason I think I have been enjoying the articles is that while they focus on my favourite genre of writing, they also offer a critical, academic approach to the gamut of writing without generally being too heavy in their academic language.

Usually I don't like analysis of fiction, prefering to enjoy the text for itself, however this book has opened up a realm of different ideas and ways of thinking about science fiction, along with suggesting some interesting stories to read (some of which I have at home gethering dust that I yet to get round to).

If Sci Fi is your thing I would recommend taking a look. It has certainly broadened my mind :)
