Imagining Albion: the Great British Future

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

3/4. Albion Unbound. British science fiction has been imagining thefuturefor centuries, but what does it tell us about our island's past and our lost tomorrows? In the 1960s, JG Ballard and Michael Moorcock rebelled against the rocket dreams of much contemporary science fiction, and chose instead to explore "inner space" the darker recesses of the human soul. Francis Spufford charts the relationship between science fiction and rebellious counterculture from its earliest days.
Producer Mark Burman Repeated on Sunday at 12.15am
