He emphasizes that at least before World War II, the predominant tone of American science fiction was optimistic and that one way or another--through advanced technology or a return to primitiveness--the writers were going to produce Some Kind of Paradise.Alice Clareson is the author of 'Some Kind of Paradise: The Emergence of American Science Fiction (Contributions to the Study of Science Fiction and Fantasy)', published 1985 under ISBN 9780313231674 and ISBN 0313231672.
