Lost Transmissions: The Secret History of Science Fiction and Fantasy
Out of stock
$12.00
Science fiction and fantasy reign over popular culture now, associated in our mind with blockbuster movies and massive conventions. But there’s much more to the story than the headline-making hits. Lost Transmissions by Desirina Boskovich, with a foreword by Jeff VanderMeer, is a rich trove of forgotten and unknown, imagined-but-never-finished, and under-appreciated-but-influential works from those imaginative genres, as well as little-known information about well-known properties. Divided into sections on Film & TV, Literature, Art, Music, Fashion, Architecture, and Pop Culture, the book examines Jules Verne’s lost novel, AfroFuturism and Space Disco, E.T.’s scary beginnings, William Gibson’s never-filmed Aliens sequel, Weezer’s never-made space opera, the 8,000-page metaphysical diary of Philip K. Dick, and more. Featuring more than 150 photos, this insightful volume will become the bible of science fiction and fantasy’s most interesting and least-known chapters.
Book is in “Like New” condition. Some light superficial wear and/or remainder mark might be present.
