If you only ever read one scholarly book about science fiction, this should probably be it. I don’t think there’s another book that does such a good job of identifying and demonstrating the one cultural-historical dynamic that underlies the genre’s development.

My brain is not used to reading academic writing, so this took me forever to read. It was super interesting and made me want to read a bunch of early scifi books. 

Not a ton of new information was given. It's easy to see the links between Sci fi and colonialism once you make that connection in your head.  But I appreciate the time it takes to write it all down and quote the sources. There is so much evidence it's impossible to dispute the connection.

Es muy interesante.

Aunque el título sugiere que aplica un punto de vista postcolonial a la historia de la ciencia ficción, y ciertamente eso está y es interesante, creo que el valor del libro es más general por su manera de fijarse en la evolución de temas y motivos en los orígenes del género, más que en la aparición de obras clave (que también utiliza a modo de ejemplo, claro).
