Astrofuturism: Science, Race, and Visions of Utopia in Space

Astrofuturism: Science, Race, and Visions of Utopia in Space is a groundbreaking analysis of an aesthetic, scientific, and political movement that seeks to address racial difference and social antagonisms through the exploration of space.

This book delves into the popular science writing and science fiction of a diverse group of scientists, engineers, and writers to understand how American technological utopianism responded to political upheavals in the 20th century.

By examining the iconography of space and its relationship to race and gender hierarchies, Astrofuturism reveals the ideals and contradictions inherent in American culture.

This thought-provoking work will appeal to anyone interested in the intersection of science, technology, and social justice.
