Asimov's Science Fiction March

The Oxford Handbook of New Science Fiction Cinemas provides novel insight into the rapidly developing genre of science fiction. In contemporary film, science fiction is a key locus both for displaying and for imaginatively addressing social and cultural issues.

This volume defines these new modes as slant forms of science fiction, changing a genre most often associated with the icons of science and technology into a substantially new range of science fiction cinemas.
