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 two experts on the history of Science Fiction. Returning to Postcards Alec Nevala-Lee – Asimovebiographer and the author of Astounding (A history of the golden age SF) and Seth Heasley host of The Hugo award-nominated podcast The Hugos There.

The story we are covering is the 1941 classic “Nightfall” by Issac Asimov This story about a mad scientist and a pocket universe is here in its original form if you have never read it.
