| Summary |
"This book examines science fiction's theoretical and ontological backgrounds and how science fiction applies to the future of tourism. Focusing on disruption, sustainability and technology, it brings a new theoretical paradigm to the study of tourism in a post COVID-19 world and can be used to explore, frame and even form the future of tourism"-- Provided by publisher. |
