On Earth, actual rockets explode over Texas while others make their way to Mars. But what \u003ci\u003eare\u003c\/i\u003e spacecraft, 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? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIf 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-the \u003ci\u003eMillennium Falcon\u003c\/i\u003e would be it. Springing from this infamous \u003ci\u003eStar Wars\u003c\/i\u003e vehicle, \u003ci\u003eSpacecraft\u003c\/i\u003e takes 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTimothy Morton\u003c\/b\u003e is Rita Shea Guffey Chair in English at Rice University, USA.
