A Major Critical Work From One Of The Preeminent Voices Of Science Fiction Scholarshipas The World Undergoes Daily Transformations Through The Application Of Technoscience To Every Aspect Of Life, Science Fiction Has Become An Essential Mode Of Imagining The Horizons Of Possibility. However Much Science Fiction Texts Vary In Artistic Quality And Intellectual Sophistication, They Share In A Mass Social Energy And A Desire To Imagine A Collective Future For The Human Species And The World. At This Moment, A Strikingly High Proportion Of Films, Commercial Art, Popular Music, Video And Computer Games, And Nongenre Fiction Have Become What Csicseryronay Calls Science Fictional, Stimulating Sciencefictional Habits Of Mind. We No Longer Treat Science Fiction As Merely A Genreengine Producing Formulaic Effects, But As A Mode Of Awareness, Which Frames Experiences As If They Were Aspects Of Science Fiction. The Seven Beauties Of Science Fiction Describes Science Fiction As A Constellation Of Seven Diverse Cognitive Attractions That Are Particularly Formative Of Sciencefictionality. These Are The 'Seven Beauties' Of The Title: Fictive Neology, Fictive Novums, Future History, Imaginary Science, The Sciencefictional Sublime, The Sciencefictional Grotesque, And The Technologiade, Or The Epic Of Technsocience'S Development Into A Global Regime.
