New Maps of Hell - Softcover
A fantastic voyage, with Kingsley Amis as guide, through the amazing world of science fiction-past, present and future. He surveys the magnificent panorama of this world of fact and fantasy, of Jules Verne and H.G. Wells, of madly ingenious inventions and cosmic disaster, of bug-eyed monsters and credible human experiments, of revolutionary inventions and awesome transformations, of exploration of the outer reaches of space, and of strange worlds within the universe. With characteristic humour, acute analysis and superb writing, he provides the general public with a fascinating explanation of this vast field of literature, and the enthusiast with new insights into his favourite readings.
