The trio, aided by philosopher Thomas Ballhausen, brings that\u003cbr\u003esame sense of the cutting-edge and the carnivalesque to this collection\u003cbr\u003eexploring erotica, science fiction, and technology. A bracing mix of literary\u003cbr\u003eforms, the book shows why the fantasy genre is especially suited to the\u003cbr\u003einvestigation of the transgressive realms of sexuality and pornography. Here\u003cbr\u003equestions of science, research, and technologization are examined, along with\u003cbr\u003ethe complex surrounding urbanism, artificiality, and control (or the loss of\u003cbr\u003econtrol). \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe genre of the \"fantastic\" is especially well suited to\u003cbr\u003ethe investigation of the touchy area of sexuality and pornography: actual and\u003cbr\u003eassumed developments are frequently depicted positively and approvingly, but\u003cbr\u003ejust as often with dystopian admonishment: Here the classic, and continuingly\u003cbr\u003evalid, themes of modernism represent a clear link between the two aspects: questions\u003cbr\u003eof science, research and technologization are of interest, as is the complex\u003cbr\u003esurrounding urbanism, artificiality and control (or the loss of control).\u003cbr\u003eDepictions of the future, regardless of the form they take, always address the\u003cbr\u003epresent as well.
