Recent films have embraced the themes and conventions of science fiction to address pressing global concerns such as human rights, climate change, economic precarity, and mobility. This book explores the recent transnational turn towards cosmopolitanism in science fiction cinema since the beginning of the twenty-first century. It examines a diverse range of examples, including films such as Elysium, In Time, 2012, Andrew Niccol's The Host, Codependent Lesbian Space Alien Seeks Same, and Cloud Atlas. While these narratives present themselves as cosmopolitan, the book questions their validity and exposes how they sometimes perpetuate social hierarchies and exploitative practices. This interdisciplinary book, part of the Studies in Global Genre Fiction series, will appeal to readers and scholars interested in science fiction, film and media studies, cosmopolitanism, border theory, popular culture, and cultural studies. It will also captivate fans of science fiction cinema and literature.
