ISBN: 9783034307413 - shockwaves of possibility: essays on science fiction, globalization, and utopia (ralahine utopian studies, band 15) (9 Ergebnisse)

Paperback. Zustand: New. Shockwaves of Possibility explores the deep utopianism of one of the most significant modern cultural practices: science fiction.
