Technoscience in Contemporary Film (Inside Popular Film) - Softcover
This analysis of images of science and technology from popular films of the 1980s and 1990s argues that films as diverse as the science fiction film "Jurassic Park", the melodrama "Lorenzo 's Oil" and the "Gremlin" comic fantasies contribute to popular understandings of science and technology. Films studied include: "Twelve monkeys"; "Lawnmower man"; "Strange days"; "Edward Scissorhands"; "Android" and "GATTACA". The study provides an accessible introduction to contemporary ideas about technoscience and broadens the debates about images of science and technology beyond the science fiction and horror genres
