- Through a process of careful historicization and original research, this ground-breaking single-author, book-length monograph combines original research with fresh critical interpretation to propose science fiction and speculative fictions as an alternate form of seeing. The book comprises six chapters, an introduction and conclusion, exploring the visual imperatives at work within science fiction’s literary and visual forms. Drawing on disciplines from art history to literary geography and ecocriticism, the book explores size and scale in the landscapes of science fiction, virtual reality environments, paperback illustration, apocalyptic visualisations, visual extrapolations of scientific research, and depictions of desert and darkness.
