![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() At first, I called this neglected period the Pre-Golden Age, but later I coined the phrase Radium Age - a moniker which I’ve popularized by writing about the era for the scientific journal Nature, Boing Boing, and elsewhere and by reissuing 10 science fiction novels from that period under HiLoBooks’s purpose-built Radium Age Science Fiction imprint.Īt io9, I published a short series of semi-exhaustive posts on the following topics: Radium Age Supermen | Radium Age Robots | Radium Age Apocalypses | Radium Age Telepaths | Radium Age Eco-Catastrophes | Radium Age Cover Art (1) | SF’s Best Year Ever: 1912. The 1904–33 era is one in which sf fans and historians have never been particularly interested. Back in 2008, Annalee Newitz and Charlie Jane Anders invited me to write for io9.com about a topic they knew I had recently become fascinated with: proto-sf novels published after the emerging genre’s 1864–1903 Scientific Romance era, but before its (1934–63) so-called Golden Age. ![]()
