By discussing technological developments, literary and cinematic works reflect ongoing debates and may extend them by means of fiction. Therefore, literature and film play a major role in shaping these social discourses about technology. Since the beginning of the 20th century, literary and cinematic reception of technological innovations has become more complex. Based on comparative literature studies, our anthology includes analyses of literary and cinematic works from that time until the present. All of the analyses point out a motif of retrospect: technology is always discussed and evaluated in relation to the past.
