Rezensionen

"Broderick's assessments are never less than stimulating, combining just enough intellectual and narrative scene-setting to draw focus on each author's approach to imagining the consciousness of something Other. ... Consciousness and Science Fiction is well worth the price of entry." (Cosmos, cosmosmagazine.com, May 25, 2019)
