Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus (1818/1831) is often regarded as the first work of science fiction. As a result, it might be surprising to learn that it’s only in recent years that academic studies of the contemporary 18th and 19th century science that would have informed Shelley’s fiction have started to come into existence.

Bernard Heuvelmans was a Belgian-French zoologist who earned his doctorate in 1939 from the Free University of Brussels for his work on aardvark dentition. But he's best remembered as one of the founders of the contested “science” of cryptozoology, the adherents of which hunt for such legendary creatures as the yeti, Bigfoot, and the Loch Ness Monster.

The 2009 movie Moon was ahead of its time thanks to its approach. It wasn't only focused on being a sci-fi movie, though it does a great job capturing an entirely new narrative and world. No, it was also focused on a deep psychological study of a man named Sam (Sam Rockwell) in isolation, greatly anticipating the day he gets to go back to Earth to see his family. As the story pushes forward, we soon learn he's trapped in a horrific situation where his very identity is put into question.
