What a fascinating angle! Science fiction often shapes our understanding of science, like Isaac Asimov said, "The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom." 🪐📚 #SciFiWis
Our book explores the relationship between reading fiction and engaging with science. We examine the contexts in which science fictions matter, and show how reading science (in) fiction can be understood in relation to public understandings of science.
