Science Fiction and Philosophy

"What are consciousness and free will? Will artificial beings have them? Do we? And do we owe an ethical debt to future generations, even if they wear quite different bodies, or minds? These, and countless other questions first raised by a century’s worth of canonical science fiction, are now ambitiously appraised by Susan Schneider in a volume that explores our philosophical frontier.”

      David Brin, astrophysicist and Times best-selling author of The Postman and Earth

 "Susan Schneider has assembled an incredibly wide range of stimulating and accessible thoughts in these pages. The second edition of Science Fiction and Philosophy will fascinate anyone who enjoys thinking 'outside of the box'—though it might leave their minds in a whirl!"

            Martin Rees, 'UK Astronomer Royal'
