Description
Review text: 'Warrick's ostensible criteria for literary merit do not include such customary ones as character development, narrative, technique, style, and structure; but like the rest of us, she seems rather to enjoy a well-told story.' -- Antioch Review 'Literary analysis, examination of ideas, the evolution of science and technology, and the place of science fiction on the spectrum of literature are thoroughly and readably integrated. In the course of all this, she provides a solid definition of the whole genre.' -- Alternative Futures 'The book is provocative, stimulating, worth reading.' -- Modern Fiction Studies
