Science in Science Fiction: Two Examples


ID : 1910   

« back to classes page
ClassGraphic Two science fiction novels reveal the biological possibilities that have been used in science fiction: Galapagos by Kurt Vonnegut and Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro. Join in the conversation about what biology is presumed by the authors and what ethical and other issues related to biology the authors raise. Could these scenarios become reality? Are the novels satire, based on fear, or are they commentaries on social policy?
