In this course, we will consider how science fiction has indexed and investigated both social hopes and social anxieties. Lectures will survey: 1) the genre’s gothic origins and growth in dime novels and "pulp" magazines; 2) the Golden Age and New Wave of the mid-20th century; and 3) cyberpunk and the contemporary. Each week will offer historical context, deep dives on key texts, and critical frameworks for interpreting science fiction in relation to technology and society.
