Introduction
Science fiction is the genre that links our lives to the future: the faster the pace of scientific and technological advancement, the greater our awareness of what István Csicsery-Ronay called "the science-fictionality" of everyday life. The more we feel the effect of scientific and technological change on global flows of economic, social, and cultural exchange (not to mention the blurring of biological and environmental boundaries), the more we …

Apocalyptic Realism
The dissertation explores the following hypothesis: The Strugatskys' unabated popularity for the last three decades (1960-1990) among the educated Russian reading public--in particular, the scientific intelligentsia--can be attributed to something other than the superficial allure of science fiction escapism, and, vice versa, to something other than the political pleasure of recognizing a critical allegory in the ostensibly fantastic genre. The b…
