Synopsis

Science fiction has hosted some of the greatest minds and most innovative thinkers in human history. From H.G. Wells to Octavia Butler, Star Trek to Star Wars, in books, on television, and at the movies, science fiction has shaped our future, pushed the limits of human imagination, and guided us within ourselves to examine universal truths of life. In this smartly curated book, author Guy P. Harrison collects 1,001 of the most influential and transformative quotations spanning four centuries of sci-fi, such as:

• “Better to make a good future than predict a bad one.”―Isaac Asimov, Prelude to Foundation, 1988 novel
• “Hope clouds observation.”―Frank Herbert, Dune, 1965 novel
• “No amount of money ever bought a second of time.”―Avengers: Endgame, 2019 film, written by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely

Whether you are a Dr. Who superfan, a diehard sci-fi reader, or an outer space film buff—or are simply curious about the cosmos—Damn You, Entropy! is an essential addition to every science fiction fan’s library.
