A Plurality of Habitable Worlds: The Age of Discovery (1500 - 1800); Remembrance of Things To Come: The Mechanical Age (C19th); Pulp Fiction: The Astounding Age (1900 - 1940); Cold War and Heat Death: The Atomic Age (1940s, 1950s); Stranger in a Strange Land: The New Age (1960s, 1970s); Information Wants to be Free: The Computer Age (1980s, 1990s); The Frankenstein Century: The Age of Biology (C21st). Uniquely, each chapter showcases the evolutionary symbiosis of science fiction and science: their common origins identified in The Age of Discovery; the mutual influence of machine, evolution and fiction in The Mechanical Age; the reciprocal refuelling of emergent cosmologies, space opera and real-life space travel anticipated in The Astounding Age; the evolution of bombs and apocalyptic fiction in The Atomic Age; the many worlds, multiverses and alternative histories of quantum theory in The New Age; the prophesised liberating power of the web, and the virtual and tangible realities of AIs, robots and cyborgs in The Computer Age; and fictional projections of our troubled genetically-modified future in The Age of Biology.
