Exploring the evolution of fiction since the 1960s, this book analyzes how authors like Thomas Pynchon and Doris Lessing blend scientific concepts, including psychology and sociology, into mainstream narratives. It introduces the emerging genre of "span," which bridges traditional fiction and science fiction, highlighting works that challenge genre boundaries. The text includes diagrams, a bibliography, and an index, providing a comprehensive framework for understanding this new literary landscape and its implications for both mainstream and science fiction.
