The chapter on non-western utopias has this incredibly annoying part about Australia, where it names 'the dreaming' as described by Deborah Bird-Rose and a few 19ths century ethographers as a form of utopia centred around a "Golden Age" genre of literature, and mentions a few texts by non-Aboriginal people who wrote apocalyptic dystopian novels about Aboriginal people.

Description Science fiction is at the intersection of numerous fields. It is a literature which draws on popular culture, and which engages in speculation about science, history, and all types of social relations.

This volume brings together essays by scholars and practitioners of science fiction, which look at the genre from these different angles. After an introduction to the nature of science fiction, historical chapters trace science fiction from Thomas More to more recent years, including a chapter on film and television. The second section introduces four important critical approaches to science fiction drawing their theoretical inspiration from Marxism, postmodernism, feminism and queer theory. The final and largest section of the book looks at various themes and sub-genres of science fiction.
