Imagining Urban Futures, as refracted and vividly conceived in science fiction, is a fascinating treatise about what’s possible and greatest in social philosophy and experience today. If the human population rises we might envision a world that is predominantly modern. Shifting environmental conditions, increasing sea levels, decreased water exposure, and a number of other problems would dramatically change urban ecosystems, while technology is keeping out the vision of cities beyond Earth. From Metropolis to Blade Runner and Soylent Green to The Hunger Games, and many others, Abbott provides a convincing theoretical examination of science fiction cities featured in fictional plays, tv shows and films of several ages.
