Tonight's Omnibus film illustrates how Science Fiction with its stories of robots, space travel and future civilisations has become the new mythology for our technological age.

Filmed in New York, Los Angeles, Cape Kennedy and London, the programme features Brian Aldiss, Isaac Asimov, J. G. Ballard, Ray Bradbury, Harlan Ellison, Damon Knight, Fritz Lang, Fred Pohl and Kurt Vonnegut, and traces the development of Science Fiction from the romances of Jules Verne and the tales of H.G. Wells to the modern writers of this 20th-century literature.
