the science fiction genre, from Jules Verne, Jonathan Swift, and
Mary Shelley to William Gibson and Philip K. Dick to Ken Liu and
Ted Chiang, and beyond. Trace the progress of SF through modern
times and learn why key figures and inventors like Thomas Edison
and Elon Musk have looked to science fiction to predict the future.
For the first time in illustrated form, this comprehensive history

science fiction. Who is considered the world's first science
fiction author? How did American science fiction begin? What sci-fi
novel is the alltime best-seller? What were the "Pulps" and how did
they predict with uncanny accuracy the 21st century world around
us? The answers are here, along with detailed chapters dedicated to
the founders of the genre and their modern-day successors. Discover
the origins of your favorite page-to-screen science fiction movies.
