The tone of this book is revealed early when the author describes his childhood fascination with what he considers science and science fiction. He wants a drink to give him superpowers, and his friend convinces him that he has one.Now everyone (yes, including me) has believe foolish things at times without thinking them through, what's significant is this is the author's starting point. I would have expected tales of building crystal radios and reading classic science fiction, sending up rockets, learning chemistry, observing nature; and of using observation and theory to come to deeper understanding of speculative fiction.Instead, this book discusses almost all popular comic book and space opera stories, rarely anything without pictures; the kind of thing that many people call "science fiction." I happen to like comic books and well-made space operas, but I never confuse them with serious science fiction.The problem with trying to explain the science behind, say, Spiderman or Guardians of the Galaxy, is there is no consistent fictional phenomena to explain. The writers of these entertainments made stuff up as they go along for the convenience of the plot, not within a coherent or even possible context.Despite this problem, a competent scientist could extract some entertaining lessons from comic books and comic book movies. However, this author is not a scientists. He bases his explanations on popular science writing only a level or two above the comic book. Those explanations are often entertaining, if seldom enlightening, but the summaries in this book are stilted and boring.If you are looking for interesting science or speculation inspired by real science fiction, look elsewhere. If you want your comic books explained to you by someone who reads Gizmodo but lacks its flair, be my guest.
Interestingly shelved by me as literary, nonfiction and sf, at the same time, this book looks at the history, progress and present of science fiction, affecting science in our civilisations. And perhaps at its future. We can't be sure. Things change.From ancients who looked at the moon and made up stories, to 2001 A Space Odyssey, and various stops in between, we get a lot of namechecks and some revisiting of tales. They are somewhat jumbled, though, apparently random titles of books and films on a particular topic, not necessarily in date order. I am also a bit peeved that every four or five page chapter has one or two pages of quotes at the start. Many of these quotes are from Stanley Kubrick or Joss Whedon.No mention that I saw of Arthur C Clarke's inventing telecommunication satellites in geosychronous orbits. For that the book loses a star.In the chapter headed Jacking In, about The Matrix or Ready Player One immersion in an alternate reality, we start with several quotes from Ready Player One (in which the hero does not jack in). No quote from Neuromancer, which invented the term, and no description of what is physically involved in that book; it was namechecked in an earlier section on cyberpunk. This leads me to suspect that the author hasn't read Neuromancer. Nor Snow Crash.Proofreaders, please correct the spelling of the woefully underused Ursula K Le Guin. Apart from herself and Mary Shelley, I just plain didn't see many women authors. Anne McCaffrey had genetically modified the native fire lizards of Pern into fire-breathing dragons to aid human partners as telepathic fighters; no mention. Nor is she in the section on cyborgs and bionics; The Ship Who Sang gave a person born with severe disability the chance to live in control of a spacecraft, published in short stories 1961 - 1969 and as a book in 1969. While we are not there yet, space travel gave us telemetrics, and the late Prof Stephen Hawking controlled far more from his wheelchair than people did in 1969. JK Rowling gets a glance with one quote about long life and her magic flying car.The author has assembled a lot of material on various SF and philosophical topics including alternate reality, time travel, the world's end, space travel. He sounds enthusiastic and leans more on philosophy than action. No Warlords of Mars, more about The War of the Worlds reflecting the barbarity of colonisation. SF fans will be interested; but then, they'll have read the books and seen the films. So I am not sure at whom this work is aimed. Maybe at a new generation turning away from the internet for a moment to discover how we got to here.The book is crying out for an index, and there may be one in the final version. Lacking this in my ARC, I was unable to count easily how many women's names featured. I counted the quotes instead: 40 chapters, each prefaced by three to five quotes from anyone from HG Wells to Carl Sagan to Tim Goodman to Robert Oppenheimer to Kiera Knightley. Five women were quoted.I downloaded an e-ARC from Net Galley. This is an unbiased review.
