Golden Age SF Tales of a Bygone Future Author:Eric T. Reynolds (Editor) The Golden Age: that fascinating era when science fiction grew up. It was the era that transformed a generation into believing in many of the things we take for granted today -- the genre that inspired thousands of future scientists and engineers. From the twenty-first century we travel back to the Golden Age and imagine the future again, as the... more » dreamers did. NEW stories written as if during the Golden Age (from 1938 to 1957): the authors have transported themselves back to the Golden Age, suspended their memories of all events that have taken place since then and written science fiction stories about the "future" . . . tales of a bygone future.
