Reading by Starlight explores the characteristics in the writing, marketing and reception of science fiction which distinguish it as a genre.Damien Broderick explores the postmodern self-referentiality of the sci-fi narrative, its intricate coded language and discursive `encyclopaedia''. He shows how, for perfect understanding, sci-fi readers must learn the codes of these imaginary worlds and vocabularies, all the time picking up references to texts by other writers.Reading by Starlight includes close readings of paradigmatic cyberpunk texts and writings by SF novelists and theorists including Isaac Asimov, Arthur C. Clarke, Brian Aldiss, Patrick Parrinder, Kim Stanley Robinson, John Varley, Roger Zelazny, William Gibson, Fredric Jameson and Samuel R. Delaney.

A story for everyone who ever loved the work of the late, great SF writer Cordwainer Smith.From "An Introduction to ''The Ruined Queen of Harvest World''":Perhaps nobody in all the world had ever written the future so well, hauntingly, yearningly [as Cordwainer Smith].And then he had gone, barely more than half a century old.We would never learn the rest of those stories, that history of the deep future, that golden journey—oh, oh, oh.Well, certainly I’m not foolish enough to imagine I might add to them, might emulate that distinctive voice building layer by layer its deceptively simple confection . . . But some reverberation of the voice of Cordwainer Smith drums away down inside, and finally I let it speak… not mimicry of the inimitable, but a respectful bow toward [Smith''s] shade, with a wry grin and maybe a wink.At the Publisher''s request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
