A fascinating illustrated history of lost, overlooked, and uncompleted works of science fiction and fantasy
Science fiction and fantasy reign over popular culture now. Lost Transmissions is
a rich trove of forgotten and unknown, imagined-but-never-finished, and
under-appreciated-but-influential works from those imaginative genres,
as well as little-known information about well-known properties. Divided
into sections on Film & TV, Literature, Art, Music, Fashion,
Architecture, and Pop Culture, the book examines Jules Verne's lost
novel; AfroFuturism and Space Disco; E.T.'s scary beginnings; William
Gibson's never-filmed Aliens sequel; Weezer's never-made space
opera; and the 8,000-page metaphysical diary of Philip K. Dick.
Featuring more than 150 photos, this insightful volume will become the
bible of science fiction and fantasy's most interesting and least-known
chapters.
