This course explores social conditions, social structures, institutions, values, and norms in societies of the future as depicted in science fiction cinema. This extrapolation over time allows us to explore the forces and processes of social change from new perspectives. Science fiction cinema provides a valuable medium for addressing these questions because it emphasizes actual, extrapolative, or speculative science and the empirical method interacting in a social context in an attempt to reconcile man with the unknown.
