Science Fiction and Anticipation: Utopias, Dystopias and Time Travel
presents ten chapters discussing themes related to time travel, utopias, and dystopias in science fiction novels published in America and Europe between the 18th and 20th century. These themes include social progress, freedom and human rights, technological advances, and the issues of ethics, racism, sexism, censorship, and slavery. The contributors analyze novels such as
The Year 2440
published in 1771,
Paris in the Twentieth Century
written by Jules Verne,
Blake; or, The Huts of America
by Martin Robinson Delany,
The Amphibian Man
by Alexander Belyaev,
Heart of a Dog
by Mikhail Bulgakov,
Ashes, Ashes
by René Barjavel,
The Machine Stops
by E. M. Forster,
Morel’s Invention
by Adolfo Bioy Casares, and writers of Spanish, Argentinian, English, and French fictions such as George Orwell, Eduardo Ladislao Holmberg and Leopoldo Antonio Lugones Argüello. This book notably presents their sources and influence, the accuracy of their predictions, and their relevance in our very unstable world.
