"Science fiction and fantasy reign over popular culture now. Lost Transmissions is a rich trove of forgotten and unknown, imagined-but-never-finished, and under-appreciated-but-influential works from those imaginative genres, as well as little-known information about well-known properties. Divided into sections on Film & TV, Literature, Art, Music, Fashion, Architecture, and Pop Culture, the book examines Jules Verne's lost novel; AfroFuturism and Space Disco; E.T.'s scary beginnings; William Gibson's never-filmed Aliens sequel; Weezer's never-made space opera; and the 8,000-page metaphysical diary of Philip K. Dick. Featuring more than 150 photos, this insightful volume will become the bible of science fiction and fantasy's most interesting and least-known chapters." --Amazon.com… (altro)
No matter your level of interest in sci-fi, you’ll find things to love in this expansive, generous book. Articles explore the hidden corners of sci-fi and expose its effects on the broader culture (and vice versa). And would it be crass to mention that it would make a great gift for someone who lives sci-fi? Well, it would. ( )
Some interesting morsels are set in the matrix. This retrospective is divided by medium - books, movies, architecture, art and design, music, fashion, fandom/pop culture. Books and movies contain much more of lost works than the other areas, where, with the exception of games, it seems assumed that SFF aspects of the culture are created lost. I grew a bit tired of the main author's voice and her citing of her co-author. Also, the blatantly heterosexual fiction by women writers of the late-mid 20th century who have faded away don't rate any mention. ( )
A surprisingly interesting look at the historical influences on the genre of science fiction. The book examines unpublished works, the influence on and of art, writing, film, music, design and gaming. The book features many wonderful images and interviews with writers and artists. A must for fans. ( )

As somebody who doesn't listen to much mainstream music, essays about music you've never heard are pretty lame.
But I got a few recs out of it. Not bad, just not great. ( )
