Description
This collection of science fiction stories from the early twentieth century brings together works by authors who helped shape the genre. From Arthur Conan Doyle to W. E. B. Du Bois, and from pulp science fiction writers like Neil R. Jones to lesser-known voices like Rokeya Sakhawat Hossain, this anthology showcases a pivotal moment in the development of science fiction.
These stories represent what Joshua Glenn has dubbed "the Radium Age", a period when science fiction as we know it emerged as a genre. The collection features a range of writing styles and themes, including a feminist utopia predating Charlotte Perkins Gilman's Herland by a decade, a world in which humanity has retreated underground, and early entries into the Afrofuturist subgenre.
Readers will discover a diverse selection of science fiction from an era that was both prescient and provocative. With its well-written stories and thought-provoking themes, this collection offers a unique insight into the development of the genre.
