LOST TRANSMISSIONS

Desirina Boskovich

The Secret History of Science Fiction and Fantasy

A fascinating illustrated history of lost, overlooked, and uncompleted works of science fiction and fantasy

Science fiction and fantasy reign over popular culture now. Lost Transmissions is a rich trove of forgotten and unknown, imagined-but-never-finished, and under-appreciated-but-influential works from those imaginative genres, as well as little-known information about well-known properties. Divided into sections on Film & TV, Literature, Art, Music, Fashion, Architecture, and Pop Culture, the book examines Jules Verne's lost novel; AfroFuturism and Space Disco; E.T.'s scary beginnings; William Gibson's never-filmed Aliens sequel; Weezer's never-made space opera; and the 8,000-page metaphysical diary of Philip K. Dick. Featuring more than 150 photos, this insightful volume will become the bible of science fiction and fantasy's most interesting and least-known chapters.

Desirina Boskovich has written for Lightspeed, Tor, Weird Fiction Review, and the Huffington Post, and she has contributed fiction to Clarkesword Magazine, and F&SF. She is the coauthor of The Steampunk User's Manual and lives in Nevada, Missouri.

Comments

Boskovich sets the tone with a conversational style that enwraps solid scholarship the collection will broaden your horizons and turn you on to wonders bubbling under the mass-market commodified pleasures to which we all too often limit ourselves. The Washington Post My only complaint about Lost Transmissions is that there isn't more of it Buy this book because it is beautiful, but also so they'll make another. The Houston Chronicle This treasure trove of secrets, presented in a generously illustrated hardbound volume, is like a gateway into science fiction's inner sanctum. Kirkus Reviews
