About

Science fiction and fantasy reign over popular culture now, associated in our mind with blockbuster movies and massive conventions. But, there's much more to the story than the headline-making hits. 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
• the 8,000-page metaphysical diary of Philip K. Dick, and more

Featuring more than 150 photos, this insightful volume will become, the bible of science fiction and fantasy's most interesting and least-known chapters.
