Zone Theory: Science Fiction and Utopia in the Space of Possible Worlds - 28 (New edition 1)

'Zone Theory' develops an approach to the study of utopia that expands its definition and its application in the field of science fiction studies.

It rephrases utopia as an unceasing dialectic between totality and novelty which keeps on shaping and discovering new subjectivities and instrumentalities, as it adapts to the exigencies of the present.

The author argues that the climate crisis in particular has made the utopian operation especially relevant to the present, in the way it makes possible surprising combinations and permutations of generic forms.
