Swartz The Hugo Awards originally were called the Science Fiction Achievement Awards and first were given out at Philcon II, the World Science Fiction Con- vention of 1953, held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The second oldest--and most prestigious--awards in the field, they quickly were nicknamed the Hugos (officially since 1958), in honor of Hugo Gernsback (1884 -1967), founder of Amazing Stories, the first professional magazine devoted entirely to science fiction. No awards were given in 1954 at the World Science Fiction Con in San Francisco, but they were restored in 1955 at the Clevention (in Cleveland) and included six categories: novel, novelette, short story, magazine, artist, and fan magazine.

  • Libraries and Infonnation in Science Fiction
    Libraries and infonnation in science fiction by Louise M. Goodall, B.A. A Master's Dissertation, submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the award of Master of Arts degree of Loughborough University. September 1997 Supervisor: Mr Alan Poulter, B.A., M.Se. Department of Information and Library Studies © Louise M. Goodall, 1997 ABSTRACT Investigates the ways in which libraries and information are represented in science fiction. Establishes that science fiction is a particularly sensitive form of literature for reflecting the society in which it was produced, and that as such it may have insights into the library and information profession. Science fiction texts discussed were chosen as representative canonical examples. The texts used are : George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four, William Gibson's Neuromancer, and Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451. It concludes that SF omitts to represent libraries in most instances, but portrays information as a vital resource. , .!CI;:.s::o ~l.s ii t..... .:.;.: .... · =- . ..,1 i /'C!; 40 15 7--3-0···~1 t,·.' ~ No. ~ ·.~n:'';'"N;...:...~"..._".:.H_'''''''''''''_''\'''P'M'''''',''''' ' KobSI"Z.!>1 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank Alan Poulter, my supervisor, for the help and guidance he has provided me with while writing this dissertation.

  • Faith, Fallout, and the Future: Post-Apocalyptic Science Fiction in the Early Postwar Era
    religions Article Faith, Fallout, and the Future: Post-Apocalyptic Science Fiction in the Early Postwar Era Michael Scheibach Independent Researcher, Miami, FL 33179, USA; [email protected] Abstract: In the early postwar era, from 1945 to 1960, Americans confronted a dilemma that had never been faced before. In the new atomic age, which opened with the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan, in August 1945, they now had to grapple with maintaining their faith in a peaceful and prosperous future while also controlling their fear of an apocalyptic future resulting from an atomic war. Americans’ subsequent search for reassurance translated into a dramatic increase in church membership and the rise of the evangelical movement. Yet, their fear of an atomic war with the Soviet Union and possible nuclear apocalypse did not abate. This article discusses how six post-apocalyptic science fiction novels dealt with this dilemma and presented their visions of the future; more important, it argues that these novels not only reflect the views of many Americans in the early Cold War era, but also provide relevant insights into the role of religion during these complex and controversial years to reframe the belief that an apocalypse was inevitable. Keywords: atomic age; atomic bomb; atomic war; apocalypse; evangelism; faith; faith in the future; postwar; cold war; social science fiction; Fahrenheit 451; nineteen eighty-four; the shrinking man; shadow on the hearth; on the beach; a canticle for Leibowitz Citation: Scheibach, Michael. 2021.

They are intended to impart acquaint- ance with the economy and habits of some of the most beautiful or singular productions of the vegetable kingdom, and also to illustrate moral truths by analogies drawn from the same source. Through the medium of fiction, founded on fact, it has been endeavoured to in- vite attention to many wonders of creation, which are daily passed by IV PREFACE. without notice, trodden under foot without heed, or, at best, admired without scrutiny; to point out the curious adaptation of means to cor- responding ends, observable in the most minute of Nature's works ; and, finally, to teach therein the goodness and wisdom of Nature's God. In the Notes to each Fable no new information is pretended to be con- veyed, their matter having been chiefly derived from acknowledged authorities, selected to suit the purpose of illustra- tion, and also to invite pursuit of Botany, as a study adapted to refine and elevate, as well as to inform the mind. For such readers as possess no botanical knowledge, it may be advis- ; PREFACE. V able to peruse these Notes before the Fable to which they belong, in order to render the allusions of the latter more apparent.

  • Mormonism and Science Fiction
    Refracted Visions and Future Worlds: Mormonism and Science Fiction Michael R. Collings lthough science fiction and religion both attempt to define possible or J probable future states, they often seem incompatible. Critics of science fiction frequently argue that including religion in science fiction vitiates the power of the imagined world; and since, as James Gunn has stated, "religion answers all questions that science fiction wishes to raise . science fiction writ- ten within a religious framework . turns into parable." 1 Readers of science fiction accept the ground rules of the imagined universe, even when they are a-religious or anti-religious. When one enters the arena of science fiction, it is as if religion ceases to function.
