The ultimate science fiction collection ( 50 books ) vol.1

American science fiction author and editor Lester del Rey wrote, "Even the devoted aficionado or fan-has a hard time trying to explain what science fiction is," and the lack of a "full satisfactory definition" is because "there are no easily delineated limits to science fiction."According to Isaac Asimov, "Science fiction can be defined as that branch of literature which deals with the reaction of human beings to changes in science and technology."Robert A. Heinlein wrote that "A handy short definition of almost all science fiction might read: realistic speculation about possible future events, based solidly on adequate knowledge of the real world, past and present, and on a thorough understanding of the nature and significance of the scientific method."Contents:Ray BradburyA Little JourneyZero HourMorgue ShipLazarus Come ForthJonah of the Jove-RunDefense MechRocket SummerThe Monster MakerAsleep in ArmageddonIsaac AsimovYouthLet's Get TogetherClifford D.
