LMC professor Lisa Yaszek is one of the featured experts in director James Cameron's Story of Science Fiction, a six part mini-series that debuts on AMC at 10 pm EST on Monday, April 30, 2018. Yaszek, who appears throughout the series and who speaks on topics ranging from aliens to bad futures to time travel, also wrote the chapter on time travel for the book that will be published with the series.
From the acclaimed director of The Terminator, Aliens, and Avatar, the Story of Science Fiction explores the evolution of sci fi from its origins as a cult genre with a small following to the blockbuster pop cultural phenomenon we know today. In each episode, Jame Cameron introduces on the "Big Questions" that humankind ha contemplated throughout the ages and reaches back into sci fi's past to better understand how our favorite films, TV shows, books, and video games were born.
