Independent Reading Journal 11-17-08

Science Fiction Today and Tomorrow edited by Reginald Bretnor. 1974.

In 1953, Bretnor edited his first symposium on science Fiction. It was called Modern Science Fiction, Its Meaning and Its Future. In the time from that book to 1974, science fiction proved to be enduring. The genre gained acceptance and importance.This symposium reflects on the science fiction of that day as well as taking an insightful look into the science fiction of the future. Now, 34 years later, I am interested in seeing what he has to say about the future of science fiction, because that future is now.
