Kim Stanley Robinson

by Robert Markley

19,81€ + 10% CARD

 <div>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.</div>

Joanna Russ

by Gwyneth Jones

19,81€ + 10% CARD

 <div>Experimental, strange, and unabashedly feminist, Joanna Russ''s groundbreaking science fiction grew out of a belief that the genre was ideal for expressing radical thought. Her essays and criticism, meanwhile, helped shape the field and still exercise a powerful influence in both SF and feminist literary studies.Award-winning author and critic Gwyneth Jones offers a new appraisal of Russ''s work and ideas. After years working in male-dominated SF, Russ emerged in the late 1960s with Alyx, the uber-capable can-do heroine at the heart of Picnic on Paradise and other popular stories and books. Soon, Russ''s fearless embrace of gender politics and life as an out lesbian made her a target for male outrage while feminist classics like The Female Man and The Two of Them took SF in innovative new directions. Jones also delves into Russ''s longtime work as a critic of figures as diverse as Lovecraft and Cather, her foundational place in feminist fandom, important essays like "Amor Vincit Foeminam," and her career in academia.</div>

Iain M. Banks

by Paul Kincaid

19,81€ + 10% CARD

 <div>The 1987 publication of Iain M. Banks''s <i>Consider Phlebas</i> helped trigger the British renaissance of radical hard science fiction and influenced a generation of New Space Opera masters. The thirteen SF novels that followed inspired an avid fandom and intense intellectual engagement while Banks''s mainstream books vaulted him to the top of the Scottish literary scene. Paul Kincaid has written the first study of Iain M. Banks to explore the confluence of his SF and literary techniques and sensibilities. As Kincaid shows, the two powerful aspects of Banks''s work flowed into each other, blurring a line that critics too often treat as clear-cut. Banks''s gift for black humor and a honed skepticism regarding politics and religion found expression even as he orchestrated the vast, galaxy-spanning vistas in his novels of the Culture. In examining Banks''s entire SF oeuvre, Kincaid unlocks the set of ideas Banks drew upon, ideas that spoke to an unusually varied readership that praised him as a visionary and reveled in the distinctive character of his works. Entertaining and broad in scope, <i>Iain M. Banks</i> offers new insights on one of the most admired figures in contemporary science fiction.</div>

Frederik Pohl

by Michael R Page

19,81€ + 10% CARD

 <div>One of science fiction''s undisputed grandmasters, Frederik Pohl built an astonishing career that spanned more than seven decades.

In this first-of-its-kind study, Michael R. Page traces Pohl''s journey as an author but also uncovers his role as a transformative figure who shaped the genre as a literary agent, book editor, and in Gardner Dozois'' words, "quite probably the best SF magazine editor who ever lived."</div>
