"These essays address the intersections among the reading, writing, and teaching of science fiction, placing analytical and pedagogical research next to each other to reveal how SF can be both an object of study and a teaching tool, examining SF as a genre of mediation between the sciences and the humanities, and SF in the media"--Provided by publisher.
