Science Fiction fra etterkrigs-epoken
(1946 - ca. 1965)
Detoneringen av atombomben i 1945 trigget en eksplosiv interesse for Science Fiction (pun intended).
I 1957 sendte Sovietunionen den første satelitten, Sputnik, ut i verdensrommet, og publikum
begynte nå å forvente det uventede. Framtiden var nå, og dette påvirket selvsagt hva
SF forfatterne kunne skrive om, og hvordan de gjorde det. Etterkrigstidens SF er preget av
å ha blitt skrevet i skyggen av den kalde krigen, og i vissheten om at mennesket kan gjøre det tilsynelatende umulige,
som å reise ut i verdensrommet.
Sentrale forfattere fra etterkrigs-epoken er blant andre
George Orwell,
Frederik Pohl,
Ray Bradbury,
Alfred Bester og
Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.
En annen forfatter som er typisk for perioden var J.R.R. Tolien, som i 1954-55 publiserte sin Ringenes Herre triologi
(se Fantasy).

Clarke | | | To start off, I think this book is a masterpiece of ideas and science fiction. That said, I'll begin by mentioning what I see as my one significant squabble with the book. |  | Lies, Inc.: A Novel | Philip K. Dick |  | | Unlike a lot of PKD fans I really like this book. I've read the original novella (The Unteleported Man) once and the 1983 Berkeley version (also titled The Unteleported Man) with the additional 1965 chapters included, three times. I am a hard core Philip K Dick fan having read most of his novels, st... |  | A Canticle for Leibowitz | Walter M. Miller | | | Walter M. Miller's acclaimed SF classic A Canticle for Leibowitz opens with the accidental excavation of a holy artifact: a creased, brittle memo scrawled by the hand of the blessed Saint Leibowitz, that reads: "Pound pastrami, can kraut, six bagels--bring home for Emma." To the Brothers of S... |
