VIS 136ASpeculative Fiction Seminar
This course approaches writing as a research-based design of a text. We research, design, and write futuristic and historical texts that draw on fiction but also take other forms. To inform the writing, we read, view, and analyze works of speculative fiction and fantasy, graphic novels, supernatural fiction, alternative history, science fiction, counterfactual history, and systems novels, a form dedicated to interpreting a world increasingly structured through information systems and technology.
