Reviews

Reviews'Setting up an encounter between the histories of science fiction and psychology might portend a collision of alienworlds. Instead, Gavin Miller's Science Fiction and Psychology constructs a reflexive dialogue, which results in aunique synthesis of these two cultures.' David C. Devonis, Journal of the History of the Behavioral Sciences


Reviews'Setting up an encounter between the histories of science fiction and psychology might portend a collision of alienworlds. Instead, Gavin Miller's Science Fiction and Psychology constructs a reflexive dialogue, which results in aunique synthesis of these two cultures.' David C. Devonis, Journal of the History of the Behavioral Sciences 'Miller's work stays focused on the core argument, with no chance of descending into minutiae, errata, or apocrypha. This structure is a reflection of the careful and insightful scholarship Miller brings to bear on the subject. I highly recommend it for any waihang interested in a deeper understanding of the relationship between science fiction and the science of the mind.' Nathaniel Isaacson, Science Fiction Studies
