I have previously enjoyed many of the volumes by John Kenneth Muir, and was even privileged to provide some content to his book Horror Films of the 1990s. He just released a new book titled Science Fiction and Fantasy Films of the 1970s. The Amazon description reads:
Science Fiction and Fantasy Films of the 1970s by John Kenneth Muir is a detailed history and analysis of more than 100 genre films produced between the span of 1970 – 1979. The book looks at the historical context of dystopian, post-apocalyptic, and outer space movies of the day, and reveals how these movies are both a look at tomorrow and a product of their times.

Thanks for alerting us to this book. I’ll see if I can find it in my library. It would be a heady nostalgia trip for me, since I grew up in the 70s watching Soylent Green, 2001 (although that was a few years before the 70s), all the Planet of the Apes films, Logan’s Run, etc.
Carl, thanks for commenting. I grew up in the ’70s, and this was an important time for me with genre films. I have fond memories and continued appreciation for Westworld, Logan’s Run, and the Planet of the Apes franchise that ran into this decade, Close Encounters, Alien, The Omega Man (I could go on). A common interest for us.
