> Sherryl Vint’s research focuses on speculative fiction, especially relationships with science and technology. She works broadly within a Marxist cultural studies tradition. She has published five books: Science Fiction: A Guide for the Perplexed (2014), The Wire (2013), Animal Alterity (2010), Bodies of Tomorrow (2007), and with Mark Bould, The Routledge Concise History of Science Fiction (2011). She has also edited or co-edited several volumes and special issues, including most recently Science Fiction (2021) and Cultural Theory: A Reader (2015), a special issues of Paradoxa on The Futures Industry (2015) and, most recently, After the Human: Culture, Theory and Criticism in the Twenty-First Century (2021).
