Summary/Abstract: Science fiction novels are chronologically located where multiple time references intersect. Future dominates the semantics of the novel whereas past reference organizes the grammar of the narrative. Nostalgic retrofuturism explicitly demonstrates the tensions between various time modes, and as a result it shows a vision of “the future which has never happened”.
