Banks and Ken MacLeod lead in a futuristic tradition, for from MacDonald, Barrie, and Stevenson onwards, Scots have been speculating in ways derived from their unique circumstances: lacking political power, they imagine future spaces and different places-with a twist. Nineteenth-century thermodynamics (theorized in Scotland), Celtic Otherworlds, and a Scotland always on the ""other side"" of history open unusual futures for Mitchison, Spark, Lindsay, Mitchell, MadDiarmid, Morgan, Crumey, Fitt, and Gray. 410 0$aAperc?us: Histories Texts Cultures 606 $aEnglish literature$xScottish authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aScience fiction, Scottish$xHistory and criticism 606 $aLiterature and society$zScotland$xHistory 606 $aNational characteristics, Scottish, in literature 606 $aLiterature and history$zScotland 607 $aScotland$xIn literature 615 0$aEnglish literature$xScottish authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aScience fiction, Scottish$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aLiterature and society$xHistory. 615 0$aNational characteristics, Scottish, in literature. 615 0$aLiterature and history 676 $a823/.08762099411 701 $aMcCracken-Flesher$b Caroline$01470942 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781980803321 996 $aScotland as science fiction$93811604 997 $aUNINA
