Summary/Abstract: The article presents a critical analysis of a monograph by Gavin Miller, Science Fiction and Psychology (2020), and offers a subjective reading of the book. The author of the article believes that Miller’s book presents an inspirational and thorough reading of the classical and contemporary science fiction which revises the interaction between two spheres of human activity, cultural and scientific. By analyzing the presence of utopian thinking which provides the groundwork for Miller’s considerations, the author notes that the scholar places great emphasis on scientific discourse and methodology.
