In brief essays, Carlos Chimal critically explores the multiple relationships between science and literature, and shows the reader that neither of them would have survived without the creation of languages. This book aims to provide an overview of fiction imbued with scientific ideas throughout history and, in the best of cases, become a guide to strangers in their search for new literary worlds. In doing so, some authors names who have found hidden links that connect the scientific imagination with literary reflection will show up.
