    Description
    Introduces students to the literary genre known as science fiction, which can be defined as a speculative, science-based genre of literature, but which can also include elements of fantasy and horror. The course will examine the canonical traditions of the genre as well as the socio-political contexts from which popular science-fiction stories derive. Students will study the history of science fiction as well as prevailing trends in contemporary SF.
