Science Fantasy
Critical Explorations in Fiction and Film
About this book
Chasing Aristotle's "probable impossibilities", Science Fantasy: Critical Explorations in Fiction and Film scrutinizes science fantasy, a hybrid genre that draws from both science fiction and fantasy. It delves into how science fantasy serves as a medium to shape the present and build a better future through memories and explores uncharted territories where science and imagination intersect. The eleven chapter of this volume challenge preconceptions and invites contemplation on the harmonious interplay between science fiction and the fantastical.
