Whether these be the state-of-the-art special effects technologies of \u003ci\u003e2001: A Space Odyssey\u003c\/i\u003e, or the symbolic imagery of ruined cityscapes in \u003ci\u003eBlade Runner\u003c\/i\u003e, they allow the spectator to experience the totality of the audiovisual thrill. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhile this remains in many ways the core defining feature of the genre, recent trends in the study of science fiction cinema have seen a shift of focus away from the specifically cinematic towards the more broadly cultural. New technologies of communication and vision, revolutionary developments in the delivery and reception of moving-image media, the increasing importance of the notion of space: all are forcing new and different ways of thinking about the genre. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eAlien Zone II\u003c\/i\u003e presents some of the most exciting new voices in the current debates. A companion volume to \u003ci\u003eAlien Zone\u003c\/i\u003e, it continues to pursue the critical and theoretical issues opened up in the earlier book and energetically explores fresh territory with an eye which is both reflective and interventionist: visionary cities, psycho-cybernetics, internet fandom, the convergence of science fiction literature and science action film, the body and its limits are just some of the subjects brought under its gaze.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAnnette Kuhn\u003c\/b\u003e's books include \u003ci\u003eAlien Zone: Cultural Theory and Contemporary Science Fiction Cinema; Cinema, Censorship and Sexuality; The Power of the Image: Essays on Representation and Sexuality\u003c\/i\u003e; and \u003ci\u003eWomen's Pictures: Feminism and Cinema\u003c\/i\u003e.
