Review
"Marleen Barr offers an exciting collection mixing science fiction stories and commentary, and her introduction is splendid - combining rambunctious critical analysis with acerbic social criticism." -- Jane Donawerth, Professor of English, Affiliate in Women's Studies, University of Maryland

5.0 out of 5 stars With an engaging diversity of viewpoints, March 7, 2004
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
Compiled and edited by Marleen S. Barr (Visiting Scholar at Columbia University and winner of the 1997 Pilgrim Award for lifetime achievement in science fiction criticism) Envisioning The Future: Science Fiction And The Next Millennium is an anthology of articulate and knowledgeable essays contributed by a wide variety of authors, including Harlan Ellison, Neil Postman, George Zebrowski, Pamela Sargent. From an engaging diversity of viewpoints, the contributors discuss how science fiction as a literary whole can be expected to change and adapt in the future. Incorporating the overwhelming trend of globalization, cultural shifts in the past century and their predicted progression, and more, Envisioning The Future offers keen insights into the transformation of this popular and evolving literary genre.
