Wells, the late gothic and weird horror of Lovecraft to the mass market sensationalism of the Pulp magazines. The Pulps then invoked a new generation of writers (such as Ray Bradbury and Robert Bloch) of the Golden Age before many transitioned to screenwriting for the movies and early TV (Psycho, Star Trek, Twilight Zone), inspiring, in turn, the invasion of superheroes, gigantic spaceships, and dystopian landscapes onto our data-streaming tablets and computers. The book explores the interplay between great writers, (Asimov and Arthur C. Clarke) and story-telling directors (Kubrick, James Cameron, Ridley Scott, Christopher Nolan, George Lucas) who create powerful Sci-Fi, reflecting and challenging the developments of technology, science and society. Each have played a major role in this all-consuming, speculative form of world-building, from its early manifestation as a shocking literary event, to the mass market sensation is today Foreword Introduction Science fiction unbound: pre-1500-1894 New frontiers: 1895-1925 The rise of the pulps: 1926-1942 A time of transition: 1943-1959 Reinventing the genre: 1960-1976 Back to the future: 1977-1989 The information age: 1990-2008 The future is now: 2009-2020 Key people Further reading Dave Golder (Autor), Jess Nevins (Autor), Russ Thorne (Autor), Sarah Dobbs (Autor), David Langford (Consultor y Editor) y Pat Mills Ciencia ficción Ciencia ficción Historia y crítica Películas de ciencia ficción Cine de ciencia ficción Tiras cómicas, historietas, etc Historia y crítica PN 3433.5 A858 2017 9781786645272 1786645270 220822 20230411090812.0 spa
