A review by readorrot
Science Fiction and the Mass Cultural Genre System by John Rieder

4.0

I read this collection for research. I really enjoyed Rieder's approach to genre as something that evolves and is defined by those who engage with it. This is a very small study of Science Fiction's history, as Rieder himself repeats many times, but the perspective he offers on it is one that can be applied in a broader assessment of the genre and it's roles in culture.
