Recenzii
Hrotic's disciplinary standpoint as a cognitive anthropologist, as opposed to a literary critic or philosopher, marks his intervention as usefully distinct from our field's usual patterns of inquiry; the approach is quite different from what we usually do, and quite usefully so, and the book surely worth reading.
Religion in Science Fiction serves as an introduction both into the origins and the history of the genre ... It is a must-read for those doing research on the subject,but it also provides highly relevant insights for all those interested in the possible ways of reconciling science and religion in our modern societies.
This book teaches you not only about the important role writers of science fiction play in leading us to novel insights into religion, but also about the relationship between scientific and religious approaches to the world-and especially the usefulness of cognitive science in explaining the life of the imagination.
This is an illuminating and well-researched volume ... which teaches us much about the relationship between religious and scientific approaches to the world.
A delightful read that fills a much needed gap in the study of religion's occasionally ambiguous relationship with science fiction. Hrotic takes us on a lovely ride through a wide variety of imagined futures. Highly recommended.
I started reading Religion in Science Fiction with the intention to review it - and ended up just devouring the book. Hrotic's study is a learned, intelligent, often original, and highly readable contribution to research; in short: unputdownable.
The narrow focus allows Hrotic to make a sustained argument about this community. . Each chapter features summaries of the stories (without ruining their endings) and clear arguments about how these stories illustrate the evolving metanarrative of religion. This book would be a fascinating read for a non-academic audience of science fiction fans.
Religion is a major preoccupation of science fiction, though this has not always been acknowledged. Steve Hrotic has constructed a persuasive narrative about the different ways in which genre SF writers have approached religion, considered primarily as a special type of social system.
