It defines and analyzes what became known as the \"generation starship\" idea and examines the science and technology behind it, also charting the ways in which generation starships manifest themselves in various SF scenarios. It then traces the history of the generation starship as a reflection of the political, historical, and cultural context of science fiction's development.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSimone Caroti\u003c\/b\u003e is the course director of Science Fiction and Fantasy for the Creative Writing BFA at Full Sail University.
