Winner of the 2000 Locus Award and 2000 Hugo Award, Science Fiction of the 20th Century is filled with vivid images of pulp magazines, digests, slicks, paperbacks, hardcovers, and film posters, many shown for the very first time. This is an insiders view of the prophetic writers, illustrators and editors who made science fiction the most popular (and important!) form of entertainment in the 20th century. A monumental volume documenting 100 years of the science-fiction genre. Deeply researched and meticulously documented, this is an enormous book on an enormous subject.
