The Edinburgh Companion to Science Fiction and the Medical Humanities

...an extensive and comprehensive range of research and analyses that would be of interest to medical humanities scholars who wish to understand the relevance of the sf canon to their own specialism, and equally to the sf community in terms of how the developments within medical humanities can contribute to their studies. [...] Coming to this volume from a medical humanities perspective, I found the exploration of sf in this context both revealing and exciting. [...] this collection serves to provide an excellent and important interrogation of these two developing disciplines. -- Lesley Gray * Foundation *
...opens up aspects of science fiction that are all too easy for us to overlook. [...] Time and again I found the lens of bioethics and medical technology revealing nuances in science fiction that were not readily apparent. This is, in other words, a volume that will, I hope, have a profound influence on students of medical humanism -- Paul Kincaid * Science Fiction Studies *
Once again, SF and a newly-emerging discipline collide and find they are different ways of looking at the same things: augmentation, diet, disability, embodiment, euthanasia, prosthesis, reproduction, shock, surveillance, trans identity, trauma, biopolitical governance and neoliberal depredations... An essential addition to every medical humanities and SF studies bookshelf and reading list. -- Mark Bould, UWE Bristol
