Science Fiction Legends

Where To Start? – at ‘A’ silly!

by admin on Aug.04, 2009, under General SciFi Information

Well its time to get started. The first question is I suppose who is a Sci Fi legend and what makes them one? There are a number of factors that could be considered.

  • The longevity of their published works
  • The extent and volume of their work
  • The influence their work has had upon the society in which the work had initially been exposed and to subsequent cultures
  • The interest in their work by other media forms such as film and television or even other authors
  • The recognition they have received through awards of various kinds from their peers or their readers or viewers.

    I am sure there are other factors and over time I hope to explore those elements. However for now I will start with the more obvious legends and work up as the selections become more difficult or possibly controversial.

    Mind you anyone who actually achieves a published work and has an established reader base is in my mind a legend!
