This book explores science fiction cinema not as a fantasy of tomorrow, but as a critical arena for social and economic conflict. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e By examining cult classics and defining works of the genre, essays illustrate how science fiction films perform an archaeology of future conflicts and project contemporary anxieties about inequality into the worlds to come. The book fills a gap in the current scholarly debate by arguing that modern science fiction cinema does not merely predict the future but actively interrogates the possibility of catastrophic social division.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Cenk Tan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/21\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Critical Explorations in Science Fiction and Fantasy #86\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 213\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.35d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781476697918","brand":"McFarland \u0026 Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47937797619849,"sku":"9781476697918","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_9fe54e0f-cb5e-48c2-a465-0d79ed699bd9.jpg?v=1786473133","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/class-struggle-in-21st-century-science-fiction-cinema-essays-on-social-inequality-power-and-speculative-world-building-9781476697918","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
