12 participants (26 books)

Overview

The earliest works in the development of science fiction, all before the 20th Century.

Many of the first stories labeled as "science fiction" are closer to what we would think of as "fantasy" today, but still contain integral elements and themes that would become influential to, and even standard in, the sci-fi genre. If not for these works, we may not have the genre as we know it today!
