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 d... more »reamers 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.
