Sovereignty and capitalism -- Corruptive capitalism -- Class and exploration -- From neoliberalism to totalitarianism -- Tools of the trade -- Coda: Of gods and monsters.

""Early dystopian science fiction like George Orwell's 1984 or Thea von Harbou's Metropolis show us bleak worlds where capitalism has no boundaries and has corrupted sovereign powers, exploiting the lower classes and benefiting only a select few at the top. Political laws and policies related to human life-or the biopolitical-devalue that life, making humanity little more than expendable "machines" producing for capitalism. Capitalism's focus on progress has made it a central concern in much of science fiction. Covering science fiction from the early 1900s to present, this book examines the portrayal of dystopian capitalism and the biopolitical in works like Brave New World and R.U.R., among many others."-Provided by publisher"--
