Science fiction is the "literature of ideas" of the twentieth century. Outside of specualtive nonfiction, science fiction is the one literary genre that considers alternative social structures, the future of the human race, and the implications of technology, among other things. In addition to being great entertainment, it also makes important contributions to the social discourse about why we are here and where we are going. During the course of this term we will read five novels, several shorter pieces, and watch 4-6 films which represent a few of the major themes that recur in science fiction. Students will write weekly response papers and one longer assignment (3-5 pages), which may be an analytical essay or an original work of science fiction. Prerequisite: none.
