Media Law Through Science Fiction: Do Androids Dream of Electric Free Speech?

Science fiction offers us plausible future worlds as a laboratory in which we can study human nature and thus many of the challenges media law scholars and policy makers will face in the future may have already been explored by science fiction writers. This book is an attempt to look at the future of communication technology and the policy debates ahead--to lay the groundwork for the laws and regulations and judicial decisions to come. What is the traditional role of science fiction, and how has it fit into cultural understanding and policy debates in the past? What is the traditional role of law and policy scholarship, and how can it be adjusted to be more meaningful in debates about use and limitations involving future technology? Relying on some of the masters of science fiction, Daxton Stewart here examines these questions and more.

Humor & Entertainment

Attorney and legal scholar Daxton Stewart examines the intersection ofmedia law and science fiction, exploring the past, present, and future of communication technology and policy debates. Science fiction offers a vast array of possibilities anticipating future communication technologies and their implications on human affairs. In this book, Stewart looks at potential legal challenges presented by plausible communication technologies that may arise 20 or 50 or 100 years from today. Performing what he calls "speculative legal research," Stewart identifies the kinds of topics we should be talking about relating to speech, privacy, surveillance, and more, and considers the debates that would be likely to arise if such technologies become a reality. Featuring interviews with prominent science fiction authors and legal scholars, and a foreword by Malka Older, this book considers the speculative solutions of science fiction and their implications in law and policy scholarship. Chapters feature specific literary examples to examine how cultural awareness and policy creation are informed by fictional technology, future societies, and legal disputes. Looking forward, beyond traditional legal research and scholarship to the possible and even very likely future of communication technology, this fascinating work of speculative legal research will give students and scholars of media law, science fiction, and technology much to discuss and debate.
