I read this a few years ago so cannot recall much about it, but it is a collection of lectures given in London years ago by science fiction (SF) writers. Some quite interesting, some a bit pretentious. The weirdest was Phil K Dick's unsurprisingly. ( )

Outstanding collection of essays adapted from a series of lectures by a range of (mostly sci-fi) writers and thinkers, including Ursula K. Le Guin, John Brunner, Alvin Toffler and Philip K. Dick. Insightfully edited by Peter Nicholls, this book is likely to appeal to anyone interested in the possibilities of SF and speculative fiction. ( )
