Reviews
"Kilgore demonstrates not only how to read nonfiction with the same analytic eye as one reads fiction but also how to read all texts without the cultural filter of whiteness as the default perceptual mode."- Science Fiction Studies, This is an exceptionally innovative and potentially invaluable exploration of a major cultural phenomenon of our epoch., "Kilgore demonstrates not only how to read nonfiction with the same analytic eye as one reads fiction but also how to read all texts without the cultural filter of whiteness as the default perceptual mode."--Science Fiction Studies, "Kilgore is interested in the gender and race of the space travelers and settlers, the the politics behind the journeys, and the utopian idealism asserted for space travel. . . . The book is excellent as intellectual history."--Choice, "Kilgore demonstrates not only how to read nonfiction with the same analytic eye as one reads fiction but also how to read all texts without the cultural filter of whiteness as the default perceptual mode."-- Science Fiction Studies, "A valuable scholarly survey of perhaps the most visible strand of futurist thought and its political variations, from capitalist exploitation to racial harmony in outer space."- Future Survey, "Strongly recommended to anyone interested in science fiction, American studies, popular culture, and, of course, utopianism. It is well written, clearly arranged, and blessedly free from jargon. It provides a solid scholarly overview of the origins and development of astrofuturism, offers fresh perspectives on the work of many of the central figures in that movement, and does much to suggest that it may well be in the ongoing astrofuturist fiction that the most significant new formulation of utopian possibilities will be found."-- Utopian Studies, Kilgore is interested in the gender and race of the space travelers and settlers, the the politics behind the journeys, and the utopian idealism asserted for space travel. . . .
