Golden Age of Science Fiction (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The first Golden Age of Science Fiction - often recognized as the period from the late 1930s through the 1950s - was an era during which the science fiction genre gained wide public attention and many classic science fiction stories were published. In the history of science fiction, the Golden Age follows the "pulp era" of the 1920s and 30s, and precedes New Wave science fiction of the 1960s and 70s. According to historian Adam Roberts, "the phrase Golden Age valorises a particular sort of writing: 'HardSF', linear narratives, heroes solving problems or countering threats in a space-opera or technological-adventure idiom."
