"From the acclaimed science fiction writer Thomas M. Disch comes THE DREAMS OUR STUFF IS MADE OF, a keenly perceptive account of the impact science fiction has had on American culture. As only a consummate insider would, Disch provides a fascinating view of this world and its inhabitants, tracing its phenomenal growth into the global entertainment industry it is today. If America is a 'nation of liars,' as Disch asserts in this provocative cultural history, then science fiction is the most American of literary genres. From the protoscience-fiction tales of Edgar Allan Poe, to the utopian dreams and technological nightmares of H.G. Wells, Jules Verne and J.G. Ballard, to American conservatives Robert Heinlein and Jerry Pournelle, liberals Joe Haldeman and Ursula Le Guin, flakes William Burroughs and Philip K. Dick, and outright charlatans Ignatius Donnelly and various UFO 'witnesses,' Disch emphasizes science fiction's cultural role as both a lens and a medium for the very rapid changes driven by modern technology, highlighting its powers of prediction and prevarication. Much more than a history of the genre, THE DREAMS OUR STUFF IS MADE OF is an in-depth study of its ever-growing interaction with all aspects of culture---politics, religion, and the fabric of our daily lives---showing how it has become a cultural battlefield while helping us to adjust to new social realities. Behind the spaceships and aliens Disch reveals the blueprints of the dizzying postmodern future we have already begun to inhabit."[]"Thomas Disch, always ruefully wise and exuberantly visionary, gives us a superbly disturbing meditation on the triumph of science fiction over our expiring (or is it expired?) culture."---Harold Bloom. Pristine copy, binding square & tight, sharp corners & crisp edges, quite presentable & collectible. Codice articolo RUB885
