SCIENCE FICTION TITLES |
|
In his Science Fiction: The Illustrated Encyclopedia (1995), John Clute devotes a chapter to "Classic Titles" and remarks that "these titles have gained the status of classics through awards, critical acclaim, or sheer long-term popularity." The titles were published from 1818 (Mary Shelley's Frankenstein) to 1994 (the work of Octavia Butler, Brian Aldiss, Iain Banks and Michael Bishop.) Each of the books listed below are briefly discussed by Clute in his book. By the way, Clute's book won the 1996 Hugo Award for Best Non-Fiction Book.
