    Andrew May Pseudoscience and Science Fiction Science and Fiction Editorial Board Mark Alpert Philip Ball Gregory Benford Michael Brotherton Victor Callaghan Amnon H Eden Nick Kanas Geoffrey Landis Rudi Rucker Dirk Schulze-Makuch Ru€diger Vaas Ulrich Walter Stephen Webb Science and Fiction – A Springer Series This collection of entertaining and thought-provoking books will appeal equally to science buffs, scientists and science-fiction fans. It was born out of the recognition that scientific discovery and the creation of plausible fictional scenarios are often two sides of the same coin. Each relies on an understanding of the way the world works, coupled with the imaginative ability to invent new or alternative explanations—and even other worlds. Authored by practicing scientists as well as writers of hard science fiction, these books explore and exploit the borderlands between accepted science and its fictional counterpart. Uncovering mutual influences, promoting fruitful interaction, narrating and analyzing fictional scenarios, together they serve as a reaction vessel for inspired new ideas in science, technology, and beyond. Whether fiction, fact, or forever undecidable: the Springer Series “Science and Fiction” intends to go where no one has gone before! Its largely non-technical books take several different approaches. Journey with their authors as they • Indulge in science speculation—describing intriguing, plausible yet unproven ideas; • Exploit science fiction for educational purposes and as a means of promoting critical thinking; • Explore the interplay of science and science fiction—throughout the history of the genre and looking ahead; • Delve into related topics including, but not limited to: science as a creative process, the limits of science, interplay of literature and knowledge; • Tell fictional short stories built around well-defined scientific ideas, with a supplement summarizing the science underlying the plot.

Columbus’ (technically or genealogically non-fictional) letter on the Eden he glimpsed beyond the Orinoco mouth, and Swift’s (technically non-factual) voyage to ‘Laputa, Balnibarbi, Glubbdubdrib, Luggnagg and Japan,’ stand at the opposite ends of a ban between imaginary and factual possibilities. Thus, SF takes off from a fictional (‘Literary’) hypothesis and develops it with extrapolating and totalizing (‘scientific’) rigor– in genre, Columbus and Swift are more alike than different. –Darko Suvin, “On the Poetics of the Science Fiction Genre” Science Fiction is not about the future; it uses the future as a narrative convention to present significant distortions of the present.

  • Yandro Biblio Sup. 2 FFM by Wood 63-09
    C J # / - Famous Fantastic Mysteries ; ’ Golden Memories by --------------------------------- EDWARD WOOD SEPTEMBER 63 A whole decede has now passed since the death of Famous Fantastic Mysteries. It was one of that Ill-fated brood of magazines spawned by the second resurgence (1938-^1) and of which, not one remains. Edited by Mary Gnaedinger, it was a reprint magazine, with material from the Munsey magazines (1939-^2;19^9-53science fiction and fantasy books (19^3-53) and stories from other fantasy magazines (19^9-53)• Consid­ ered as an integral part of the parent magazine will be its shorter lived companions, Fantastic Novels and A. Merritt1s Fantasy Magazine. In the summer of 1939 the first FFM appeared, with a red lightning flash logo, the title of the magazine in white letters and the contents page printed on a sick yellow cover. Note that Unknown Worlds was later to copy this cover idea. Not until the March 19^0 issue was there to be a "symbolic" pictorial cover. That first bi-monthly issue, dated September-October 1939, was priced at 15^ and had the rough edges and crude Illustrations common to Argosy Weekly of the time. At least two names on the cover would have made an immediate Impression on any read­ er of science fiction or fantasy of more than 6 months 1 experience—Mer­ ritt’s "The Moon Pool"(1) and Cummings’ "The Girl in the Golden Atom" (2). The rest of that first issue deserves to be listed: "Space Sta­ tion No. 1"(3) by Manly Wade Wellman, "The Whimpus"(M by Todd Robbins, "Karpen the Jew" (5) by Robert Neal Leath, "The Witch-Makers11 (6) by Don­ ald Wandrei and "Blind Man’s Buff"(7) by J.U.

  • Hugo Gernsback's Amazing Stories, Which Hit Newsstands in April 1926
    W. Zoglauer, mindofhistory.com Hugo Gernsback’s Amazing Stories, which hit newsstands in April 1926, is largely recognized as the popular primogenitor of science fiction as a new genre in the United States. Though other magazines, including Gernsback’s own publications like Science & Invention, intermittently printed stories in the realm of science fiction, Amazing Stories was the first magazine to focus solely on the new genre frontier. Specially selected stories from literary stalwarts H.G. Wells, Jules Verne and Edgar Allan Poe anchored the baptismal issue. Hugo Gernsback’s vision for Amazing Stories as ‘A New Sort Of Magazine’ relied heavily on his concept of “Scientifiction.” That is, stories that educated with at least a similitude of scientific fact, but were prescient and bold in anticipating imaginative and technological future possibilities. For Gernsback, the true prophets of modernity's new mechanizing and industrial era were science fiction writers. To underscore this idea, Gersnback pointed to Jules Verne’s innovative use of submarines in Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea from 1870. “He predicted the present day submarine almost down to the last bolt!” Says Hugo. “Extravagant Fiction Today … Cold Fact Tomorrow,” was more than just a catchy banner motto in each issue’s intro, it was the guiding principle to Amazing Stories’ very existence. Amazing Stories appeared on the scene at just the right time: the horrors of WWI were fading, the American economy of the mid-1920s was prospering, and opportunistic Americans everywhere looked to advances in science and technical entrepreneurialism (like radios, rockets and talkies) as the golden pillars of the age.

That is an illusion that we should overcome. I feel like it is important to take and study the works as they are presented. It provides a kind of time travel. We can always shoehorn in the crud that has come into being in the intervening years. It is pleasant to spend time in conversation with H.G. or even Jules, though my French is utterly lacking.

SCIENCE FICTION IN FRANCE AND THE US 1 Roger Bozzetto Intercultural Interplay: Science Fiction in France and the United States (As Viewed from the French Shore)* Edited and translated by Arthur B. Evans In contrast to the Marvellous or the Fantastic, SF is a strictly Western creation. Moreover, it is a recent genre—even if the exact date of its emergence onto the literary scene is still subject to debate.1 SF has also been known by many different generic labels prior to its current appellation, but they all connoted a certain image of scientific progress.2 Despite its relative newness, SF has succeeded in generating an important amount of critical discourse: in the US, for instance, even bibliographies of bibliographies on the subject have been produced.3 This intense critical activity, however, continues to remain fragmentary in nature: there are many lacunae in its findings and a lack of specific models against which to accurately define its perspectives.4 Thematic issues, technological conjecture, and sociological implications have all drawn (albeit in rather chaotic fashion) their fair share of critical attention.

These trade paperbacks come out once a month and approximate the publishing schedule of the original Shadow magazine, which at the height of its popularity in the 1930s was appearing twice a month. The history of the Shadow character is relatively well known, altho exact details of his earliest origins are elusive and contentious. In the summer of 1930 Street & Smith, publishers of many kinds of fiction magazines, decided to take advantage of a seasonal drop in radio rates to sponsor an hour-long program to boost the sales of their premier mystery magazine, Detective Story Magazine. According to most sources the account was given to the Ruthrauff & Ryan advertising agency to work up a program adapting actual stories from the magazine.
