This book examines an unprecedented range of science fiction texts-including literature, cinema, theater, and comics-produced in Argentina from the nineteenth to the twenty-first centuries. These works address themes common to the genre across the industrialized world, including techno-authoritarianism, new modes of posthuman subjectivity, and apocalyptic visions of environmental catastrophe. At the same time, Argentine science fiction is fully grounded in the social and political life of the nation. The texts discussed here explore the impact of an uneven modernization, mass migration, dictatorships, crises in national identity, the rise and fall of the Left, the question of Argentina's indigenous heritage, the impact of neoliberalism, and the most recent economic crisis of 2001. Argentine science fiction is also highly reflexive, debating within its pages the role of science fiction and fantasy in the society of its day, and the nature of the text in a world of advancing technology. This book makes important contributions to our understanding of science fiction as a genre, as well as to materialist theories of cultural texts. It will also interest students and scholars researching the culture, history, and politics of Argentina and Latin America. Book jacket.

An unabridged collection of the “best-of-the-best” science fiction stories published in 2010 by current and emerging masters of the genre. In “Under the Moons of Venus,” by Damien Broderick, a man, who has returned to a mostly deserted Earth from a terraformed Venus with Luna and Ganymede as moons, longs to go back to Venus. In “The Shipmaker,” the 2011 story winner of the British Science Fiction Association Award, by Aliette de Bodard, a maker of living spaceships has her career threatened by the birth of a sentient Mind that will come before the ship that will house it will be ready. In “Flower, Mercy, Needle, Chain” by Yoon Ha Lee, a construct meets with an assassin that is the keeper of a gun that erases a victim’s entire lineage to secure the destruction of another gun made by the same gunsmith. In “Re-Crossing the Styx,” by Ian R. MacLeod, an entertainer aboard a cruise ship falls in love with a zombie husband’s Minder and schemes to free her from her marriage. In the steampunk story “Eight Miles,” by Sean McMullen, an English lord hires a balloonist to take him and a nonhuman female to a great height in order to learn the secrets of another world. In “Elegy for a Young Elk” by Hannu Rajaniemi, the gods use a real human to retrieve something important from a city that has become sentient and surrounded by a firewall that protects against gods. In “Alone” by Robert Reed, set in the author’s Marrowuniverse, a traveler aboard the Great Ship has eschewed contact and remained alone for far longer than seems possible. In the winner of the 2010 Asimov’s Readers’ Award for best novelette “The Emperor of Mars,” by Allen M. Steele, a contract worker on Mars becomes enamored with the science fiction retrieved from NASA’s Phoenix lander that arrived on the red planet back in 2008. In “A Letter from the Emperor,” by Steve Rasnic Tem, an imperial envoy visits an outlying colony where a retiring colonel, whose memory is suspect for security reasons, claims to have fought alongside the emperor. Finally, the 2010 Shirley Jackson Award winner for best short story, “The Things,” by Peter Watts, is a retelling of John Carpenter’s classic movie, The Thing, from the perspective of the shape-shifting alien confronting a group of scientists in Antarctica.

Menacée par un Soleil qui se transformera bientôt en nova, la Terre vit ses dernières années. Pour la plupart, les hommes ont franchi l'arc des Hypothétiques et se sont installés sur le Nouveau Monde, Equatoria ; notamment dans sa capitale, Port Magellan. C'est à partir de cette agglomération tentaculaire, hétérogène telle l'humanité, que Lise Adams cherche son père, un scientifique qui a disparu depuis bien longtemps et avait peut-être découvert quelque chose sur l'énigme que représentent les Hypothétiques. Alors que Lise tient enfin une piste sérieuse, grâce à son ancien amant Turk Findleyk, d'étranges cendres se mettent à tomber sur le Nouveau Monde. Et si celui-ci, tout comme la Terre, était condamné à brève échéance ? Avec Axis, Robert Charles Wilson continue l'immense aventure cosmique et humaine des Spin et prouve une fois de plus l'ampleur de son talent.

Many readers are unaware of the vast universe of Latin American science fiction, which has its roots in the 18th century and has flourished to the present day. Because science fiction is part of Latin American popular culture, it reflects cultural and social concerns and comments on contemporary society. While there is a growing body of criticism on Latin American science fiction, most studies treat only a single author or work. This reference offers a broad overview of Latin American science fiction. Included are alphabetically arranged entries on 70 Latin American science fiction writers. While some of these are canonical figures, others have been largely neglected. Since much of science fiction has been written by women, many women writers are profiled. Each entry is prepared by an expert contributor and includes a short biography, a discussion of the writer's works, and primary and secondary bibliographies. The volume closes with a general bibliography of anthologies and criticism.

¿Quién no ha visto películas como Encuentros en la tercera fase, Robocop o La mosca? La ciencia ficción siempre ha sido para Hollywood uno de sus géneros más populares porque refleja las actitudes que se desarrollaron en la cultura americana a lo largo del siglo XX hacia la ciencia, la tecnología y la razón. Este nuevo título que Cambridge University Press presenta en su colección de Cine proporciona una visión general sobre la historia cinematográfica del género, así como un recorrido desde sus primeras manifestaciones literarias hasta la actualidad, comparándolo con las novelas baratas (pulp fiction), la ciencia-ficción de la primera televisión y el anime japonés. Asimismo, realiza un minucioso estudio de cuatro películas clave del género: Robocop, Encuentros en la tercera fase, THX 1138 y La mosca, que ilustran una forma concreta de ciencia-ficción.

Characters are made, scripted, and invented, but Creators and Created Beings in Twentieth-Century Latin American Fiction explores what occurs when literary creations become creators themselves. Representing Latin American fiction’s increasingly skeptical gaze in the early- to mid- twentieth century, these literary creators breach the metafictional frame in order to problematize themes including life and death, gender and sexuality, and technology. Drawing upon a diverse range of literary works by canonical and non-canonical authors including Jorge Luis Borges, Horacio Quiroga, Carlos Onetti, Julio Cortázar, María Luisa Bombal, Carlos Fuentes, Roberto Arlt, Juan José Arreola, Eduardo Ladislao Holmberg, Clemente Palma, Adolfo Bioy Casares, and Pedro Angelici, this study excavates critical ontological and epistemological inquiries and delves into questions of identity, power, scientific knowledge, and the transformative nature of fiction.

Kira and the Ice Storm transports us back into Angulo's chilling literary landscape, where an otherworldly ice storm of apocalyptic proportions threatens to freeze all life as we know it. Critics and fans alike have been eagerly awaiting Angulo's latest offering. His previous works garnered much acclaim, with the Los Angeles Times declaring that Angulo "breathes life into fictional worlds more captivating than our own." Meanwhile, the Chicago Tribune dubbed him "the next giant of speculative fiction." Indeed, Angulo's books have built him a devoted cult following. The electrifying plot twists and propulsive action of his novels leave readers grasping their book covers white-knuckled. Yet beyond the exhilarating sci-fi trappings, Angulo imbues his work with philosophical depth and moral resonance. At the heart of the series is Kira, the fiercely intelligent and courageous heroine who anchors these stories. With Kira and the Ice Storm, Angulo has woven another thought-provoking tale exploring fundamental questions of humanity and existence, all while keeping readers racing through pages well past their bedtimes. Angulo's scrupulous attention to scientific plausibility and research into futuristic technologies bring a stark realism to his works, heightening the sense of impending dread. While disaster awaits, hope endures in the unbreakable human spirit embodied by Kira as she and her band of fellow survivors navigate unimaginable threats. So brace yourselves as Angulo ushers us again to the brink of ruin and back. But no matter how icy the tempest, Kira's flame never wavers. And Angulo fans wouldn't have it any other way.

"The Best" masterfully transports readers to a dystopian future where humanity struggles for survival. Angulo's vivid world-building and complex characters draw you in from the first page. This post-apocalyptic tale explores thought-provoking philosophical questions about the meaning of life while keeping you on the edge of your seat with intense action sequences. Expertly plotted with unexpected twists, "The Best" proves Angulo's talent for crafting an unforgettable story that will stay with you long after turning the final page. This science fiction work tries on one hand to make readers aware of the fragility of our species, delving into some possible environmental catastrophes that may happen due to the emission of polluting gases we are producing, the cause of climate change. In adverse climatic conditions our civilization as we know it can come crashing down. This is the story of a group of special forces soldiers, who stand out for being the best in their field. Through them we will see how the world will have changed in the near future and how only the strongest manage to survive. With this novel I would like to attract the attention of younger audiences, with the intention that they enjoy reading it while at the same time raising some questions in them. For me, science fiction basically consists of presenting theories that raise doubts about their possibility and thereby compel the reader to investigate further. I'm sure we wouldn't have made it to the moon if it weren't for books like From the Earth to the Moon. Not because the technology prevents us, nor because of a lack of capability, simply because: why go to the moon? It is possible that literature gives us that need to go further, to see and visit those worlds that books tell us about. I have worked for many years on renewable energy projects and have come to the following conclusions: we are not lacking solutions, what is missing is the interest and desire to carry them out. It is viable to change our energy model; it is possible to live better, with a higher quality of life while respecting our environment at the same time. We simply don't want to make that change; we probably are afraid to take that step or possibly it's just laziness. With my novels I only intend to make us think about it. Advance Praise for The Best: "Angulo's talent for vivid description makes the devastated landscape leap off the page." - Booklist "A must-read for science fiction fans. Surprising plot twists and well-developed characters drive this exciting tale." - Kirkus Reviews "The Best has everything you could want - high stakes, compelling characters, and masterful world-building. A remarkably addictive read!" - Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Angulo has created a tense, fast-paced thriller that leaves you both shocked and wanting more. A stellar addition to the dystopian genre." - Library Journal (starred review) "A thrilling rollercoaster ride from start to finish. Angulo is a rising talent to watch." - Theodore Gray, bestselling author of The Elements "The Best sets the bar high for science fiction. Angulo's meticulous research and incredible imagination are on full display here. A novel not to be missed!" - Ryan North, author of How to Invent Everything
