Hollyweird sciencethe next generation :from spaceships to microchips /[electronic resource] :by Kevin R. Grazier, Stephen Cass. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2017. - xv, 420 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm. - Science and fiction,2197-1188. - Science and fiction..

Preface: For the Sake of Argument -- English vs. Sciencespeak -- The Many-Body Problem: The Culture of Science -- The Scarecrow's Blunder: Mathematics and Statistics -- Let's Get Digital: Computers in Cinema -- Heavy Metal: AI and Robots in Cinema -- Boldly Going: Cinematic Spaceships -- The Gravity of the Situations: Orbits -- Getting from There to Here: Navigation in Space -- Life. In. Spaaaaace -- Putting Science in, Not Taking Drama Out: The Culture of Hollywood.

Informative, entertaining and upbeat, this book continues Grazier and Cass's exploration of how technology, science, and scientists are portrayed in Hollywood productions. Both big and small-screen productions are featured and their science content illuminated--first by the authors and subsequently by a range of experts from science and the film world. Starring roles in this volume are played by, among other things, computers (human and mechanical), artificial intelligences, robots, and spacecraft. Interviews with writers, producers, and directors of acclaimed science-themed films stand side by side with the perspectives of scientists, science fiction authors, and science advisors. The result is a stimulating and informative reading experience for the layperson and professional scientist or engineer alike. The book begins with a foreword by Zack Stentz, who co-wrote X-Men: First Class and Thor, and is currently a writer/producer on CW's The Flash.
