Note(s) : Notes bibliogr.
Informative, entertaining and upbeat, this book continues Grazier and Cass's exploration
of how technology, science, and scientists are portrayed in Hollywood productions.
Both big and small-screen productions are featured and their science content illuminated--first
by the authors and subsequently by a range of experts from science and the film world.
Starring roles in this volume are played by, among other things, computers (human
and mechanical), artificial intelligences, robots, and spacecraft. Interviews with
writers, producers, and directors of acclaimed science-themed films stand side by
side with the perspectives of scientists, science fiction authors, and science advisors.
The result is a stimulating and informative reading experience for the layperson and
professional scientist or engineer alike. The book begins with a foreword by Zack
Stentz, who co-wrote X-Men: First Class and Thor, and is currently a writer/producer
on CW's The Flash
