History of Science Fiction
The history of science fiction is an emmense area of study.
Contrary to some popular belief, science fiction was around long before
Star Trek. Lindsay, Merritt, Burroughs, Wells, and legions of other
writers worked the genre long before Star Trek.

Galaxy

History and reference material related to Galaxy Magazine. Why do we
single Galaxy Magazine out from the flock of early science fiction
magazines? Because SFM got its start as Galaxy. In fact, if not for
the horrible state of affairs in pulp publication Galaxy would still be
in print.

The Genre
|
| |
Science fiction, scifi, and sf--depending upon how you like to call
it--has been around for quite sometime and has contributed an amazing
array of excellent fiction into the common pool of cultural heritage.
At various times folks have been more, and less, picky about what does
and what does not constitute science fiction. Because so many of the
early writers worked every side of the fantasy, sf, fiction street
we shall take a more inclusive approach to what is science fiction.
