From The Lord of the Rings - called the greatest novel of the 20th Century - to The Matrix - one of the highest grossing films of all time - from the phenomenon of Star wars to the legacy of Star Trek, from the writings of H.G. Wells to the cinema of George Lucas, science fiction and fantasy have proved to be one of cinema and literature's most enduring and popular genres. Projections examines the history and the people, the science and the society, the lives, times and themes, the cultural impact and the critical response of the dynamic genre that is speculative fiction, as seen through the eyes of some of today's most recognized writers. Including both original and reprinted material, Projections is a Must for every serious science fiction student and enthusiast. Book jacket. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

The quality of the essays varies greatly. Some meander without getting to any point. From several of the contributors, I've read superior essays elsewhere. Highlights include the two bracketing essays from Michael Swanwick, Brin on Star Wars and Lord of the Rings, Moorcock's remembrance of Leigh Brackett, Mike Resnick on Burroughs, a history Australian sf by McMullen, and Jonathan Lethem's thoughts on science fiction.
Most of the essays in this volume are reprints and often feel dated. The copyright dates range from 1984 to 2004. This could have easily been fixed by placing the copyright information with the essays themselves. To make matters worse, the reader is not made aware that the essays are reprints until they see the permissions listing at the end of the book.
