The Astral Mirror
“It seemed to me that science fiction exploded out of its old habitat in 1982 and virtually took over the best seller lists of the literary establishment. The Times did not like my final manuscript, unfortunately, and ultimately asked another writer to do a piece on the same subject. The other writer, an academic who apparently set out to prove that science fiction is not of high literary standards, satisfied the Times’s editors. To those of us who know and love science fiction, it seems that th...e editorial policies of the Times have not advanced beyond the year 1937.
No matter. Science fiction titles are still hitting the best seller lists frequently. To someone who remembers 1937, that is a dream come true.
When I was a junior technical editor on the Vanguard project, back in 1956, I was rash enough to tell some of the rocket engineers with whom I worked that I not only read science fiction, I was trying to write it.
To my great surprise, they backed away from me.MoreLess
