Zusammenfassung:"In Shakespeare and Science Fiction Sarah Annes Brown investigates why so many science fiction writers have turned to Shakespeare when imagining humanity's future. He and his works become a kind of touchstone for the species in much science fiction, both transcending and exemplifying what it means to be human. Writers have used Shakespeare in a range of often contradictory ways. He is associated with freedom and with tyranny, with optimistic visions of space exploration and with the complete destruction of the human race. [...] Shakespeare and Science Fiction is the first extended study of Shakespeare's influence on the genre. It engages with over a hundred works across different science fiction media, identifying recurring patterns - and telling contradictions - in the way the genre engages both with the historical Shakespeare and with his plays. It includes discussions of time travel, alternate history, dystopias, space opera, posthuman identity and post-apocalyptic fiction." (Klappentext)
