A review by darmok
Astounding: John W. Campbell, Isaac Asimov, Robert A. Heinlein, L. Ron Hubbard, and the Golden Age of Science Fiction by Alec Nevala-Lee
5.0
An illuminating and incredible book, and an important one, too. Astounding Science Fiction (the magazine) is responsible for much of what the genre is today -- for both good and ill. Nevala-Lee has broadened my understanding of science fiction's present as much as its past.
The first work of nonfiction that I've read -- and loved -- outside of school. Universal recommendation.
