Vad har Harry Martinsons Aniara gemensamt med filmen Blade runner? Båda ingår i genren science fiction, en genre som har vuxit till en av vår tids mest vitala och populära uttrycksformer. Redan på 20-talet uppkom sf-klubbar inom vilka fans brevväxlade och även träffades på riktigt. det dröjde dock länge innan science fiction kom att uppmärksammas i den akademiska världen. Genren ansågs länge mestadels vara en oseriös och spekulativ verklighetsflykt. Sakta men säkert börjar nu science fiction bli accepterad som forskningsfält inom den akademiska världen. Den används bland annat för att illustrera filosofiska frågor, för att diskutera hur vetenskapliga teorier fungerar eller för att problematisera den teknovetenskapliga utvecklingens betydelse för samhälle och kultur. I den här antologin visar 12 forskare från skilda ämnesområden på hur rikt och fruktsamt science fiction är som forskningsfält. Boken är indelad i fyra delar: Vad är science fiction? De eviga frågorna, Nya perspektiv, och framtiden. Bokens redaktörer Mikael Godhe och Jonas Ramsten är båda verksamma vid Campus Norrköping, Linköpings universitet och undervisar vid Kultur, samhälle och mediegestaltning.
