This course is a chance to read and think about works of science fiction and fantasy, considering the kinds of problems they address and the conventions they play with. We read novels and stories by (among others) H.G. Wells, Ursula Le Guin, Octavia Butler, Russell Hoban, Stanislaw Lem and Jo Walton. Prerequisite: one college-level literature course or permission of the instructor. Recommended for nonmajors.
