Title: Holy Sci-Fi! - Where Science Fiction and Religion Intersect Author: Paul J. Nahin Series: Science and Fiction Category: Academic/Religion/Science Fiction Publisher: Springer; 2014 edition (April 30, 2014) Language: English ISBN-10: 1493906178 ISBN-13: 978-1493906178 Promotional info/Publisher's summary - "Can a computer have a soul? Are religion and science mutually exclusive? Is there really such a thing as free will? If you could time travel to visit Jesus, would you (and should you)? For hundreds of years, philosophers, scientists and science fiction writers have pondered these questions and many more. In Holy Sci-Fi!, popular writer Paul Nahin explores the fertile and sometimes uneasy relationship between science fiction and religion. With a scope spanning the history of religion, philosophy and literature, Nahin follows religious themes in science fiction from Feynman to Foucault and from Asimov to Aristotle. An intriguing journey through popular and well-loved books and stories, Holy Sci-Fi! shows how sci-fi has informed humanity's attitudes towards our faiths, our future and ourselves."
