social science fiction  

Définition

  • A literature designed to excite a speculative response about the structure of society, social science fiction in its nascent form is found alongside the amateur rocketry societies of the 1930s until the end of World War II. This genre gains prominence after the American use of atomic weaponry on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945, as a demand grows for a cultural space to debate the nature and ethics of technological advance. It declines as a genre in the 1960s, when the next generation of writers takes on the label the New Wave and becomes more popular.
