Description

This critical history and analysis explores the generation starship in science fiction between 1934, the year of its appearance, into the 21st century. It defines and analyzes the generation starship and examines the science and technology behind its conception, also charting the ways in which generation starships manifest themselves in various sci-fi scenarios. It then traces the history of the generation starship as a vehicle for science fiction stories and as a wider reflection of the political, historical, and cultural context of science fiction's development.
