Science fiction is filled with spacecraft. On Earth, actual rockets explode over Texas while others make their way to Mars. But whatarespacecraft, and just what can they teach us about imagination, ecology, democracy, and the nature of objects? Why do certain spacecraft stand out in popular culture? If ever there were a spacecraft that could be detached from its context, sold as toys, turned into Disney rides, parodied, and flit around in everyone's head-theMillennium Falconwould be it. Springing from this infamousStar Warsvehicle,Spacecrafttakes readers on an intergalactic journey through science fiction and speculative philosophy, revealing real-world political and ecological lessons along the way. In this book Timothy Morton shows how spacecraft are never mere flights of fancy.
