The Language of Sci-Fi


Listen Later

Science-Fiction has long been written off as a runt of literature, a place for immature geeks to put all their weird fetishes or whatever. Let’s try and correct that. Sci-Fi is literature. Here are two proofs of that.

Everythingography

  • Fine Prey by Scott Westerfeld (novel I analysed)
  • Bruna Husky by Rosa Montero (book series I analysed)
  • Archeologies of the Future by Frederic Jameson (essay I mentioned)
  • Stories of Your Life and Others by Ted Chiang (short story collection I recommended)
  • Blade Runner by Ridley Scott (movie I quoted 42 words from)
  • Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov (novel I used as introduction)
  • Off to the Races by Lana del Rey (song quoting the incipit of former for fun please don’t sue me for copyright infringement)
  • Music credits
