Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Matrix: Imagineering the world market

Bould, Mark

Abstract

This keynote address argues that sf has long been engaged in mapping - often unconsciously - the processes of globalisation and empire. It illustrates this argument with analyses of Jules Verne's Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Seas and the Wachowski brothers Matrix trilogy
