Status Updates From Fantastic Voyages: Learning...

The other part of the book is a mediocre attempt (and by "mediocre" I mean compared with other books that try to do the same thing) at providing an overview of all of scientific discovery. There are occasional references to science fiction films that often seem a bit too critical and close-minded.

If you're a science fiction fan, the last 100 pages of this book are very valuable, summarizing and discussing a number of old classic science fiction films that I otherwise wouldn't have known about (many are very old and in black and white), and even compare these films with the books they were based on, if there were any.
