This new paperback takes readers on a spectacular tour of the language created by science fiction.

From "Stargate" to "Force Field", this dictionary opens a fascinating window into an entire genre, through the words invented by science fiction's most talented writers, critics, and fans.

Each entry includes numerous citations of the word's usage, from the earliest known appearance forward. Drawn not only from science fiction novels and stories, citations also come from fanzines, screenplays, comics, songs, and the Internet.
