“Never judge a book by its movie.” –J.W. Eagan
Synopsis
The idea that the Earth is hollow has inspired both the world of science and the world of fiction. As a scientific concept, this notion has informed the works of Edmond Halley and Leonhard Euler. As a literary conceit, it can be found in the works of Dante and E.A. Poe; in novels by Jules Verne, Arno Schmidt, Thomas Pynchon, and Mark Z. Danielewski; and in comics, films, and computer games. This collection addresses both the scientific and the aesthetic aspects of the |Hollow Earth,| with essays that range from medieval literature to afrofuturism. (Series: n-1 - work - science - medium - Vol. 5)
