  • The Vietnam War as American Science Fiction and Fantasy

    H Bruce FranklinARTICLEScience Fiction Studies1990

    American SF helped engineer and shape America’s war in Indochina, which then profoundly reshaped American SF. Indeed, the Vietnam War cannot be fully comprehended unless it is seen in part as a form of American SF and fantasy. Straight out of American pulp, comic book, and movie SF came fantasies of techno-wonders and super-heroes that guided the decisions of political and military leaders. A paradigm of the American self-images that helped shape…

    H Bruce FranklinARTICLEScience Fiction Studies1986

    Having attained access to the forces that shape matter, we now have powers that could either grant us conscious control over our destiny or extinguish all human life.

    H Bruce FranklinARTICLEScience Fiction Studies1983Cited by: 1

    A systematic examination of the visions of the future projected in Anglo-American SF films from 1970 through mid-1982 reveals a significant shift from the monster and doomsday movies of the 1950s and 1960s. These cinematic projections of the imagination of despair express the accelerating social and economic disintegration of a world empire and contain ominous implications about the actual future. By focusing on the transformations of the two key…
