Recognizes science fiction as a modern expression of Gnosticism, rejecting bodily concerns for an exclusive emphasis on spirituality. This book covers such topics as HG Wells, science fiction in academia, and the role of genre in storytelling.

A member of the Pulitzer Prize jury, the late Frank McConnell helped science fiction gain standing as serious literature. His 16 essays herein were first presented as papers at the prestigious Eaton Conferences. Initially believing that science fiction is primarily one of many forms of storytelling, McConnell gradually recognized science fiction as a modern expression of Gnosticism, rejecting bodily concerns for an emphasis on spirituality.
