Archaeologies of the Future by Fredric Jameson
Investigates the development of the Utopian form since Thomas More, and interrogates the functions of Utopian thinking in a post-Communist age. This book also explores the relationship between utopia and science fiction through the representations of otherness and a study of the works of Philip Dick, Ursula LeGuin, William Gibson and others.
Archaeologies of the Future is certainly among the most stunning studies of science fiction ever produced.. a vast treasure trove of a book, crammed with brilliant apercus ... Jameson is one of the world's most eminent cultural theorists, but he is also a peerless literary critic in the classical sense of the term. -- Terry Eagleton * London Review of Books *
Jameson's skill in connecting diverse materials and theories, the suggestiveness of many of his insights and his passionate conviction make this an exciting book. * Times Literary Supplement *
