SCIENCE FICTION OF THE 20TH CENTURY TP
by Frank M. Robinson
Vividly illustrated with images of film posters, magazines, and books - many shown here for the first time - this is an insider's view of the prophetic writers, illustrators, and editors who made science fiction the most popular (and important!) form of entertainment in the 20th century. From dime novels to pulp magazines to books to films and TV, science fiction has chronicled both our hopes for the future and our fear of it. Best-selling author Frank M. Robinson tells the story-behind-the-story from Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (published in 1818) through the fantastic visions of Arthur C. Clarke, Ray Bradbury, Robert Heinlein, Stephen Spielberg, George Lucas, and a host of others - many of whom made science fiction not only their profession but their life. The atomic bomb, the space program, cloning, and the Internet come to life on paper and celluloid as talented writers and artists and filmmakers share their sense of wonder and their adventures of the mind.
