On Earth, actual rockets explode over Texas while others make their way to Mars. But what are spacecraft, and just what can they teach us about imagination, ecology, democracy, and the nature of objects? Why do certain spacecraft stand out in popular culture?If ever there were a spacecraft that could be detached from its context, sold as toys, turned into Disney rides, parodied, and flit around in everyone’s head—the Millennium Falcon would be it. Springing from this infamous Star Wars vehicle, Spacecraft takes readers on an intergalactic journey through science fiction and speculative philosophy, revealing real-world political and ecological lessons along the way. In this book Timothy Morton shows how spacecraft are never mere flights of fancy.Country/Region of Manufacture: USAuthor: Timothy MortonBook Series: Object LessonsGenre: Literary CriticismTopic: Home Garden & Pets, Technology & Engineering, Philosophy & SpiritualityRelease Year: 2021 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
