New Maps Of Hell - a Survey Of Science Ficton

by Amis, Kingsley

New Maps of Hell is a series of lectures about critical literary analysis of science fiction, including it's history from rough beginnings as short stories in pulp magazines up to the mid-seventies.

Includes many synopses, breaks down the "types" of science fiction, and provides a thoughtful introduction to an often scoffed at form of modern literature.
