Speculations & Ruminations - The Lost Last Volume 12 of The Sci-Fi Film Fiesta eBook Series

Sci-Fi Film Fiesta
The Lost Last Volume 12
“Speculations &
Ruminations”


The Lost Last Volume That Was Never Meant To Be!

The Lost Last Volume 12 “Speculations & Ruminations” deals with various implications, themes and ideas that often arise out of the world of science fiction films and literature referenced in the other volumes of this eBook series.

All of this material is organised into four broad sections:

Part 1: “Going Forward”
Part 2: “Dystopia Now”
Part 3: “Poetic Ponderings”
Part 4: “Sci-Fi Future Is here & Now”

The content of this FREE volume is intended to encourage a bit of thought and debate about the world we live in, the kind of future we would (and wouldn’t) wish for ourselves and for future generations, along with an appreciation of the sometimes abused, tenuous and fragile nature of what many of us take for granted such as freedom of thought and speech and our system democracy.

    I hope you'll enjoy this final volume of the Sci-Fi Film Fiesta eBook series along with the other volumes. My original intention in writing about classic science fiction films of the 1950s was to present it in the form of a book but I instead chose to do so via this blog. Having completed featuring sci-fi films of the 1950s and moving on to films of the 1960s through to the 1980s, I decided to go back to my original idea. With the amount of information such a book would encompass, I then decided to present it in a freely available eBook format consisting of 11 manageable volumes devoted to various general themes for easy reference.
