Reviews
'... rich and compelling ... the larger political and ethical ramifications of Vint's project in Biopolitical Futures could not be more urgent or clear.' Hugh C. O'Connell, Science Fiction Studies
'Recommended ...' M. L. Robertson, Choice
'Biopolitical Futures examines a truly impressive range of twenty-first century speculative fiction. ... [the book] will be of particular interest to students and scholars of speculative fiction studies, feminist science and technology studies, posthuman studies, and related fields.
