This chapter introduces the volume and the chapters to come. It opens with a haunting, observing that the positive project of law has been enveloped by the spectre of culture. Law has no meaning and no purchase without its cultural location. The idea of the imaginary, to connect cultural texts, tropes, memes and myths to rules and institutions, is introduced and the context of the legal imagery is explained. It is noted that law and technology scholarship inherently engages with speculating about technological futures and that science fiction often is the well that scholars draw upon in that speculation. Having established the relations between law and technology, science fiction and the legal imaginary, this chapter then introduces the core sites examined in the chapters of the volume. These are the regulation of space, both planetary and extra-planetary space, the digital and the corporation. Through these introductions, the essentiality of time and time-sense to law and the imaginary becomes identified.
