Drug Themes in Science Fiction

by Robert Silverberg

This book explores the relationship between drug use and science fiction, arguing that science fiction is a reflection of contemporary societal trends and can provide insights into the future of drug use. The book examines the use of drug themes in science fiction, from the early days of the genre to the present day, and discusses the ways in which science fiction has both reflected and shaped societal attitudes towards drugs.
