This is a book about the spaceships of our imagination. However, Morton says, spaceships are much more than that. Spaceships are autonomous beings, and they have something to tell us. Drawing on the fantastical Millennium Falcon from Star Wars, the acclaimed author of Hyperobjects takes us on an intergalactic journey through science fiction and Object-Oriented Ontology, raising urgent political, ethical, and ecological questions along the way. Spaceship is a heartfelt tribute to our passion for space travel (and its representations in film, literature, and television); delving into the boundaries between reality and imagination, and challenging our most fundamental convictions about what it means to live in the world, in "spacetime," and in "hyperspace." The Millennium Falcon represents the irreducible singularity of things. And the universe, like our world, might be more than just a bleak and inhospitable place.
