This work traces the common origins of film noir and science fiction films, identifying the many instances in which the two have merged to form a distinctive subgenre known as Tech-Noir. From the German Expressionist cinema of the late 1920s to the present-day cyberpunk movement, the book examines over 100 movies in which the common noir elements of crime, mystery, surrealism, and human perversity intersect with the high technology of science fiction. The author also details the hybrid subgenre's considerable influence on contemporary music, fashion, and culture. The book includes 60 film stills, a subject index, a bibliography, and a filmography.

"an engrossing, exhaustive, and somewhat exhausting ride through decades of film...a beautifully organized discussion of the melding of the two genres"--Scarlet; "a straightforward and painstakingly detailed history...Meehan's enthusiasm for the major films is contagious"--Science Fiction Studies; "well written"--Critical Mass.
