This collection investigates the critical role of music and sound design in shaping the narrative and atmospheric identity of science fiction television. Editors K. J. Donnelly and Philip Hayward compile a series of scholarly essays that examine how sonic landscapes contribute to the world-building of iconic series. By analyzing specific scores, title themes, and sound effects, the contributors argue that music is not merely an accompaniment but a fundamental component of the genre's speculative power.
