Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is one of the first books of its kind, one that investigates the role of mythology, technology and politics/ideology/materiality in Indian Science Fiction. Reads Science Fiction as existing in a flux generated by socio-historical forces, technological advances, and a mythological tradition, which leads to a more holistic understanding of Science Fiction and the society in which it is produced and consumed. It connects the world of the Science fiction text with the world(s) of the writer/reader, which generates Suvinian ‘cognitive estrangement’. It hybridises viewpoints from across the world, whether creative (i.e. it borrows from author interviews given to the writer) or critical perspectives (i.e. it transposes and fuses globally established theories/frameworks on Science Fiction).
