The reviewer, Professor Jay Beck (founder of the SCMS Sound Studies Group), writes: "
Sound Design & Science Fiction is a welcome addition to the growing number of publications on film sound. Extremely readable and copiously illustrated, the book offers an engaging analysis of the interplay between genre and sound practices. It provides a model for future work on the subject."
