Super Weapons and Imaginary Enemies: a History of the Relationship between Modern U. S. Military and Science Fiction Works
by (australia) Stephen Deadman
About This Novel
Science fiction novels, film and television have had an inseparable relationship with the U. S. Military since their inception. From the conception, development, and naming of new weapons and equipment, to the military's use of science fiction comic heroes to recruit soldiers and boost morale, to the military's investment in science fiction works to show its image, science fiction novels, film and television have always interacted with the U. S. Military. This book combs through the history of the intertwining and mutual influence between science fiction novels, comics, film and television works, and video games and the development of the US military from the mid-19th century to the 21st century. In particular, the introduction of the positions of many well-known science fiction writers and their relationship with the US military outlines a neglected clue to the development of science fiction novels.
