A voyage into the ever-expanding global space of science fiction ideas and works.

Science-fictional (SF) narratives help humanity to make sense of its reality and place in the universe. The twin phenomena of globalization and the emergence of new science fiction and futurism from outside the Anglophone world, and in minority languages or Indigenous societies, present a challenging yet exciting new frontier for criticism in the field. Critics can explore the relationship between such SF narratives and the different cultural realities they mediate, as well as their relationship to that storehouse of tropes, plots, themes, and images known as the SF megatext. The introduction and nine essays contained in Mapping the Megatext in Global Science Fiction take up that challenge, addressing texts by important authors from Bangladesh, the Afro-Caribbean, Syria, Hungary, Israel, Wales, Norway, Sweden, and the native Noongar peoples of Australia.
