?Brilliantly contextualised, superbly illustrated, D. Harlan Wilson?s immensely rich analysis of Minority Report takes us on an impressionable journey through the film?s watery allusions, controlling visions, tactile surfaces, and broken horizons. The film screams newly into view in Wilson?s haptic, gloved hands.? ? Sean Redmond, author of Liquid Space: Science Fiction Film and Television in the Digital Age

"In this erudite and theoretically sophisticated analysis, D. Harlan Wilson contextualizes Minority Report in the history of science fiction and communications technology with an engaging, precise, at times poetical style and a sensitivity to cultural and political dimensions that draws on established as well as up-to-date scholarship. Integrating a range of approaches and clearly set-out arguments, Wilson demonstrates a convincing case for the complexity of what he calls Spielberg?s 'intellectual blockbuster.'? ? NIGEL MORRIS, author of The Cinema of Spielberg: Empire of Light

"Everything that there is to know about one of Spielberg?s more underrated films can be found in D. Harlan Wilson?s comprehensive work on Minority Report. The highly detailed examination and analysis of literally all aspects of the film?ranging from scripting, design, style, themes, context, influences and much more?makes you appreciate the remarkable detail and skill that was assembled and utilized for the film." ? JAMES MAIRATA, author of Steven Spielberg's Style by Stealth
