The last century, however, saw, through John W. Campbell, the introduction of \"psience fiction,\" which explores such themes of mental powers as telepathy, precognition of the future, teleportation, etc.--and symbolic machines that react to such forces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The author surveys this long-ignored literary shift through a series of influential novels and short stories published between the 1930s and the present. This discussion is framed by the sudden surge of interest in parapsychology and its absorption not only into the SF genre, but also into the real world through military experiments such as the Star Gate Program.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Damien Broderick\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1476672288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781476672281\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/31\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 244\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.70h x 5.80w x 0.60d","brand":"Damien Broderick","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44410693026047,"sku":"9781476672281","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c1774d1a-b7f0-47f3-8094-24b904bbf03a.jpg?v=1697537340","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/psience-fiction-damien-broderick-9781476672281","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
