In 1970 Avon Books published a landmark anthology “Science Fiction Hall of Fame” featuring 16 classic short stories that represent landmark tales of the genre. The stories were voted on by the members of the new (at the time in the late 60s) organization Science Fiction Writers of America. In this series, I will be joined by a panel of different guests to break down these stories and talk about the authors in the book.
In this episode, I am joined by three experts on the history of Science Fiction. Returning for her second appearance is the German Writer, teacher, translator, and Three-time Hugo finalist and 2022 Hugo winner for Best Fan Writer Cora Buhlert. For the first time on Postcards is (twice on DHP) Podcaster, academic editor and author Gary Wolfe. And for the first time the long overdue appearance of physicist and Science Fiction commentator Bill Higgins.
The story we are covering is the 1941 classic “Microcosmic God” This story about a mad scientist and a pocket universe is here in its original form if you have never read it.
