This book explores experiments in the practice of power and empire in SF as it connects the imperial project of our past with the potential neo-empires of our future. Is SF designed to purge our dark imperialistic fantasies, or is it a labroatory of mind-experiments; carefully considered trials of political, social and economic scenarios?
