«La ciencia en la ciencia ficción» is the popular science essay edited by Peter Nicholls, published by Ediciones Orbis in hardcover, in Spanish.
It analyzes how science fiction starts from real science to imagine futures: good predictions rely on already known developments, as Jules Verne did with submarine engineering. Radioactivity inspired stories of atomic bombs before they existed. It includes space travel, nuclear energy, aliens and time travel.
Volume I of the Biblioteca de Divulgación Científica collection, published in 1987, translated by Domingo Santos, 256 pages.
For those interested in popular science and classic science fiction.
Peter Douglas Nicholls was an Australian literary scholar and critic. He was the creator and a co-editor of The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction with John Clute.
