Summary[edit]
| Description |
Best viewed full size. Perhaps you see some of your favorites; I marked some of mine. The important founders of a subgenre are located in close proximity to its label, like Neal Stephenson and William Gibson with Cyberpunk. Ward Shelly describes his work: "History of Science Fiction is a graphic chronology that maps the literary genre from its nascent roots in mythology and fantastic stories to the somewhat calcified post-Star Wars space opera epics of today. The movement of years is from left to right, tracing the figure of a tentacled beast, derived from H.G. Wells' War of the Worlds Martians. Science Fiction is seen as the offspring of the collision of the Enlightenment (providing science) and Romanticism, which also birthed gothic fiction, crime novels, horror, westerns, and fantasy (all of which can be seen exiting through wormholes to their own diagrams, elsewhere). Science fiction progressed through a number of distinct periods, which are charted, citing hundreds of the most important works and authors. Film and television are covered as well.” (the blue lobes, bottom right) |
