War and Science Fiction brings together 11 international scholars to explore the dynamic interplay between military conflict and speculative futures. Across different popular media (literature, film, and video games) this volume investigates how science fiction reflects, critiques, and even shapes our understanding of war. From imagined battlefields to cultural expressions of guilt and resistance, the essays span diverse popular media and global perspectives. Organized into four thematic sections, the book offers fresh insights into how science fiction envisions warfare, constructs enemies, and grapples with the ethics of technology. Therefore, this book is a vital resource for scholars of SF, history, and cultural studies.
