About this book
Reviews
“The main concern of the book is how human interactions with cyberspace are represented in SF film. … Body, Soul and Cyberspace in Contemporary Science Fiction Cinema is well-written and insightful. There is a bibliography and filmography as well as an index, and each chapter is preceded by an abstract. Anyone working on philosophical issues in the films Magerstädt discusses would do well to read this book, particularly Avatar scholars.” (Emily Hegarty, SFRA Review, Issue 315, 2015)
