The book has two aims. One, signalled in the title, is to declare that SF derives much of its energy from engagement with vital intellectual issues in the "soft sciences", history, anthropology, the study of different cultures, with a strong bearing on politics. The other is to show that SF has its own internal rhetoric, relying on devices such as neologism, dialogism, semantic shifts, the use of unreliable narrators. Shippey's main strength lies in his dual perspective, that of an academic and of a fan - two groups which rarely overlap. Each academic article is thus prefixed by a "fannish" introduction, with an element of autobiography. The book takes up Greg Benford's declaration that "the most penetrating way to view science fiction has not yet been evolved", and rises to the challenge.
