Editorial Review:

Product Description:





Rating: - thought-provoking, but disappointing, collection of essays on a brilliant show
A collection of essays dissecting one of the best science fiction series ever, the prematurely cancelled western-scifi Firefly.

There are those by philosophers, primarily the result of a couple of book series collection philosophical essays on a wide range of cultural phenomena from THE SIMPSONS to THE MATRIX to Harry Potter. Then there are collections by people with less academic qualifications, but are instead writers or artists. I've enjoyed all three types, though ... Read More
