The Ultimate Encyclopedia of Science Fiction: The Definitive Illustrated Guide by David Pringle
Science fiction is the burgeoning genre of the decade. The Spielberg smash hit Jurassic Park broke box office records in 1994 (and Jurassic Park 2 planned for 1996), and hits like Deep Space 9, Star Trek, Dr Who or the X-Files have taken over the TV screens of mature adults as well as teenagers. Science fiction is everywhere and is playing an increasing role in media of all kinds - in literature, movies and television. This reference guide seeks to provide fans with the best from every aspect of the genre.
