[November 14, 1969] To Experiment or Not To Experiment, That is the Question. (The New S. F. & Vision of Tomorrow #2)

Leave a comment

By Mx Kris Vyas-Myall Among musicians right now, there seems to be a split around whether to look towards an experimental future or an idealized past for their inspiration. Both in pop music and SF, nudity and sex remain sources of controversy. The most explicit examples of Futurism come from two recent singles, Zager and … Continue reading [November 14, 1969] To Experiment or Not To Experiment, That is the Question. (The New S.

[October 6, 1969] The Rule of a Mediocracy (Vision of Tomorrow #3)

2 Comments

By Mx Kris Vyas-Myall The Times is running a series of articles where major thinkers elucidate on what they believe life will be like in 1980. The series started with Arthur Koestler (philosopher most known for his Orwellian novel, Darkness at Noon) who predicts that, in the Britain of 1980, Mediocracy will be the order … Continue reading [October 6, 1969] The Rule of a Mediocracy (Vision of Tomorrow #3) →

[August 16, 1969] Soaring high and low (August 1969 Galactoscope)

3 Comments

by Victoria Silverwolf Ladies of Darkness Two very different novels by women fell into my hands this month. Just about the only thing they have in common is a downbeat mood. Even that, however, is treated in highly dissimilar ways by the authors. Let's take a look. Shadows of Tomorrow, by Dorothy Daniels Anonymous cover … Continue reading [August 16, 1969] Soaring high and low (August 1969 Galactoscope) →

[April 16, 1969] The Men from Ipomoea (April 1969 Galactoscope)

1 Comment

by Fiona Moore I was interested in reading this month’s Ace Double because I’d never read any Rackham, but had heard some good things about his writing. Ipomoea turned out to be a mixed bag, a pacy adventure story with some interesting themes that didn’t quite live up to its early promise. Cover of Ipomoea … Continue reading [April 16, 1969] The Men from Ipomoea (April 1969 Galactoscope) →

[January 14, 1969] Ten for the road (January Galactoscope)

1 Comment

by Gideon Marcus We've got a whopping ten titles for you to enjoy this month.  Part of it is the increased pace of paperback production.  Part is the increased number of Journey reviewers on staff!  Enjoy: Double, Double, by John Brunner From the author of Stand on Zanzibar, and also a lot of churned-out mediocrity, … Continue reading [January 14, 1969] Ten for the road (January Galactoscope) →

[May 8, 1968] A Visit to Thirdmancon, the 1968 British Science Fiction Convention

2 Comments

by Alison Scott A report of the Thirdmancon, Eastercon 1968 It’s hard to overstate the anticipation I had for Eastercon 1968. It was going to be the largest national convention ever, with over 200 fans expected! In the end I understand that something like 150 people turned up; still the largest British national convention yet. … Continue reading [May 8, 1968] A Visit to Thirdmancon, the 1968 British Science Fiction Convention →

[May 16, 1967] From the Sea to the Stars (May 1967 Galactoscope)

Leave a comment

by Victoria Silverwolf A trio of new works, two of them inside the same book, take readers from the far reaches of the galaxy to the depths of the ocean. (Sounds like last month's Galactoscope, doesn't it?) Let's start with the latest Ace Double, containing two short novels (or long novellas) set in interstellar space. … Continue reading [May 16, 1967] From the Sea to the Stars (May 1967 Galactoscope) →

5 Comments

by Victoria Silverwolf Happy New Year! We have to be told twice that it's the Fabulous Flamingo. Here we go with my first magazine review of 1967. I'm glad to say that the year begins with a bang, as the lead novella in the latest issue of Worlds of Tomorrow is a knockout. Will the … Continue reading [January 16, 1967] Off to a Good Start (February 1967 Worlds of Tomorrow) →

[November 26, 1966] White Boats, Whales and Disch, New Worlds and SF Impulse, December 1966

5 Comments

by Mark Yon Scenes from England Hello again! In a follow-on from last month’s comments, the rumours of falling sales on both Brit magazines seem to be holding water. This is worrying, especially when both magazines seem to be on a roll, but the one I like most is the lesser-selling of the two. New … Continue reading [November 26, 1966] White Boats, Whales and Disch, New Worlds and SF Impulse, December 1966 →
