Description:"Science fiction is the most important literature in the history of the world, because it's the history of ideas, the history of our civilization birthing itself.... Science fiction is central to everything we've ever done, and people who make fun of science fiction writers don't know what they're talking about." ~Ray BradburyThis Influencers anthology is a collection of 23 tales considered to be among the best and most influential works. We started with 333: A Bibliography of the Science-Fantasy Novel, by Crawford, Donahue and Grant (1953), which lists the best works published before 1950, then cross-referenced them with Science-Fiction, the Early Years by Everett Franklin Bleiler, Neil Barron's Anatomy of Wonder: A Critical Guide to Science Fiction and Brian Stableford's Scientific Romance in Britain, 1890-1950.You'll find a variety of stories from different subgenres: tales of war and invasion, feminist utopias, dystopias, catastrophes, interplanetary travel and more. Some have been made available for Kindle for the very first time and are exclusive to ROH Press.Will you like every tale in this collection? Maybe, maybe not. Tastes are personal. Every tale in the collection has been praised by writers, critics or enthusiast and have been selected for their foundational importance to the genre. A few tales of note: Everyone speaks highly of The War of the Worlds, H.G. Wells' invasion classic that inspired legions of imitators, it's a must read on any fan's list. For those that like their futures bleak try The Iron Heel, Theodore Savage, or City of Endless Night. For satire read Flatland. Bleiler speaks highly of The Green Splotches, A Gentleman from Jupiter, and Willmoth the Wanderer. Barron states that The Clockwork Man, was "perhaps the outstanding scientific romance of the 1920s." H.G. Wells had high praise for Sheil's The Purple Cloud, Isaac Asimov had great respect for A Martian Odyssey and Colin Wilson crowned A Voyage to Arcturus "the greatest novel of the twentieth century."War and Invasion NovelsThe War of the Worlds by H.
