Celluloid Projections: Images of Technology and Organizational Futures in Contemporary Science Fiction Film

Abstract

This paper explores the posited role of technology in our organizational futures as portrayed in contemporary science fiction films. Whilst the dominant imagery of such films has much in common with the way new technology is portrayed in mainstream management and organization texts, it is argued that the latter have much to learn from the imaginative constructions of the developing relationship between technology and organization that is offered by science fiction film-makers.
