Neil Clarke, publisher of the award-winning Clarkesworld magazine, presents a collection of thought-provoking and galaxy-spanning array of galactic short science fiction. From E. E. "Doc" Smith’s Lensman, to George Lucas’ Star Wars, the politics and process of Empire have been a major subject of science fiction’s galaxy-spanning fictions. The idiom of the Galactic Empire allows science fiction writers to ask (and answer) questions that are shorn of contemporary political ideologies and allegiances. This simple narrative slight of hand allows readers and writers to see questions and answers from new and different perspectives. The stories in this book do just that. What social, political, and economic issues do the organizing structure of “empire” address? Often the size, shape, and fates of empires are determined not only by individuals, but by geography, natural forces, and technology. As the speed of travel and rates of effective communication increase, so too does the size and reach of an Imperial bureaucracy.Sic itur ad astra—“Thus one journeys to the stars.” At the beginning of the twentieth century, writers such as Kipling and Twain were at the forefront of these kinds of narrative observations, but as the century drew to a close, it was writers like Iain M. Banks who helped make science fiction relevant. That tradition continues today, with award-winning writers like Ann Leckie, whose 2013 debut novel Ancillary Justice hinges upon questions of imperialism and empire. Here then is a diverse collection of stories that asks the questions that science fiction asks best. Empire: How? Why? And to what effect? Table of Contents: - “Winning Peace” by Paul J. McAuley - “Night’s Slow Poison” by Ann Leckie - “All the Painted Stars” by Gwendolyn Clare - “Firstborn” by Brandon Sanderson - “Riding the Crocodile” by Greg Egan - “The Lost Princess Man” by John Barnes - “The Waiting Stars” by Aliette de Bodard - “Alien Archeology” by Neal Asher - “The Muse of Empires Lost” by Paul Berger - “Ghostweight” by Yoon Ha Lee - “A Cold Heart” by Tobias S.

One of the few points critics and readers can agree upon when discussing the fiction popularly known as New Space Opera – a recent subgenre movement of science fiction – is its canny engagement with contemporary cultural politics in the age of globalisation. This book avers that the complex political allegories of New Space Opera respond to the recent cultural phenomenon known as neoliberalism, which entails the championing of the deregulation and privatisation of social services and programmes in the service of global free-market expansion. Providing close readings of the evolving New Space Opera canon and cultural histories and theoretical contexts of neoliberalism as a regnant ideology of our times, this book conceptualises a means to appreciate this thriving movement of popular literature.

We often hear about the inspirations for and impact of Star Wars, but most of the discussion tends to be vague, cursory--and ill-informed. STAR WARS IN CONTEXT aims to do better, explaining and in cases debunking what others tend to just assume. This second edition of the book, over twice the length of the original, not only updates the discussion but expands on it, covering such questions as: * How did George Lucas's earlier films (THX 1138, American Graffiti) lead to Star Wars? * In what ways did Akira Kurosawa's films, Joseph Campbell, Bruno Bettelheim, Carlos Castaneda and the James Bond movies actually influence the films' creation? * Where did the idea of the Force come from, and why does it seem so vague and slippery? (As it happens, Castaneda had a lot to do with it.) * Why did fans react so strongly against the prequels, and then become so much more accepting of them later? * What part did Star Wars actually play in creating the movie blockbuster and film market as we now know it? Going from Modernism to the globalization of the entertainment industry, from New Age mysticism to journalistic poptimism in its search for the answers, STAR WARS IN CONTEXT sets the record straight on all this, and much more.

"One of Britain's most renowned writers of science fiction, the prolific Brian W. Aldiss (b. 1925) is the rare author in this genre to he strongly touted for England's prestigious Booker Prize (he was never nominated but he has served as a judge). Aldiss's work - both his mainstream Life in the West (1980), the first volume of the Squire Quartet, and his intellectually challenging Barefoot in the Head (1969) - has attracted strong advocacy." "In this long-overdue comprehensive assessment, Tom Henighan argues that Brian Aldiss's best novels are original in subtle and quietly effective ways. He sees Aldiss not only as a mainstay of the science fiction industry, but also as a significant writer of mainstream fiction, an interesting experimenter with a flair for postmodern narrative, as an outstanding literary historian, and as one of the most intelligent and incisive essayists ever to write about the science fiction and fantasy genres."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
