title = {Science Fiction and Political Philosophy},
year = {2020},
note = {Sometimes called the “literature of ideas,”
science fiction is a natural medium for normative political
philosophy. Science fiction’s focus on technology, space and
time travel, non-human lifeforms, and parallel universes cannot help
but invoke the perennial questions of political life, including the
nature of a just social order and who should rule; freedom, free will,
and autonomy; and the advantages and disadvantages of progress. Rather
than offering a reading of a work inspired by a particular thinker or
tradition, each chapter presents a careful reading of a classic or
contemporary work in the genre (a novel, short story, film, or
television series) to illustrate and explore the themes and concepts
of political philosophy.},
