Science fiction is often denigrated as ‘unliterary’, but at its best is an extremely powerful engagement with real, often troubling issues, from theology to ecology and beyond. Taking five outstanding works by Asimov, Herbert, Le Guin, Butler, and Morgan, from the 1940s to the 2000s, this course looks at what SF can do in skilled hands, and is suitable both for those new to the genre and its fans.
