- This is the first book-length study of German Science Fiction (SF) and Utopian Thought from the end of the 19th Century to the present day. It represents a sustained engagement with German utopian thought, futures studies, and utopian/dystopian writing (in the context of the anglophone discourse) and provides both an overview of the trajectory of German SF over 125 years as well as a critical engagement with ~50 German SF novels and SF films (with English translations provided throughout). It explores German SF’s responses to the question how humanity can match technological advances with a social, ethical, and moral progress.
