Science fiction and anticipation: utopias, dystopias, and time travel explores ten captivating chapters that delve into the themes of time travel, utopias, and dystopias in science fiction novels published in America and Europe between the 18th and 20th centuries. These themes encompass a wide range of subjects, including social progress, freedom and human rights, technological advancements, and the profound ethical, racial, sexist, censorship, and slavery issues that arise within these narratives. The contributors analyze a diverse selection of novels, including "The Year 2440" published in 1771, "Paris in the Twentieth Century" written by Jules Verne, "Blake; or, The Huts of America" by Martin Robinson Delany, "The Amphibian Man" by Alexander Belyaev, "Heart of a Dog" by Mikhail Bulgakov, "Ashes, Ashes" by René Barjavel, "The Machine Stops" by E. M. Forster, "Morels Invention" by Adolfo Bioy Casares, and writers of Spanish, Argentinian, English, and French fictions such as George Orwell, Eduardo Ladislao Holmberg, and Leopoldo Antonio Lugones Argüello. This book offers a comprehensive exploration of their sources and influence, assesses the accuracy of their predictions, and highlights their enduring relevance in our ever-changing and unstable world.
