Do Metaphors Dream of Literal Sleep?

A Science-Fictional Theory of Representation

Seo-Young Chu

68
In showing the divide between realism and science fiction to be illusory, this title sheds light on the value of science fiction as an aesthetic and philosophical resource. It explores the globalized world, cyberspace, and the rights of robots, all as referents for which it locates science-fictional representations in poems, novels, and films.
