The Spirit of Science Fiction (Spanish: El espíritu de la ciencia-ficción) is a novel written by Chilean author Roberto Bolaño around 1984 and published posthumously. It was published in Spanish in 2016;[1] an English-language translation by Natasha Wimmer was published in 2018 by Picador[2] and in February 2019 by Penguin.[3]

Although unpublished at his death, The Spirit of Science Fiction was one of Bolaño's first completed novels, the manuscript bearing the inscription "Blanes, 1984",[4] and reviewers saw it as a precursor to The Savage Detectives.[1][5][6]

The novel was officially launched on November 30, 2016, within the framework of the International Book Fair in Guadalajara, Mexico, which that year was dedicated to Latin America.[7]
