Whether these be the state-of-the-art special effects technologies of \u003ci\u003e2001: A Space Odyssey\u003c\/i\u003e, or the symbolic imagery of ruined cityscapes in \u003ci\u003eBlade Runner\u003c\/i\u003e, they allow the spectator to experience the totality of the audiovisual thrill.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile this remains in many ways the core defining feature of the genre, recent trends in the study of science fiction cinema have seen a shift of focus away from the specifically cinematic towards the more broadly cultural. New technologies of communication and vision, revolutionary developments in the delivery and reception of moving-image media, the increasing importance of the notion of space: all are forcing new and different ways of thinking about the genre.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAlien Zone II\u003c\/i\u003e presents some of the most exciting new voices in the current debates. A companion volume to \u003ci\u003eAlien Zone\u003c\/i\u003e, it continues to pursue the critical and theoretical issues opened up in the earlier book and energetically explores fresh territory with an eye which is both reflective and interventionist: visionary cities, psycho-cybernetics, internet fandom, the convergence of science fiction literature and science action film, the body and its limits are just some of the subjects brought under its gaze.","brand":"Verso","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42378226106623,"sku":"9781859842591","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9781859842591_s600x595.jpg?v=1775586328","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9781859842591","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
