Description
"M. Keith Booker has selected fifteen of the most successful and innovative science fiction films of all time, and examined each of them at length - from cultural, technical and cinematic perspectives - to see where they came from and what they meant for the future of cinema and for America at large." "All of these films expressed our fears and dreams, our abilities and our deficiencies. In this deep-seeking investigation, ideal for general readers interested in science fiction and film, we can all find something of ourselves that we recognize - as well as something that we've never recognized before."--BOOK JACKET.
