AGE OF WONDERS David G. Hartwell "Engaging and engrossing. An insider's view by one of the ablest minds in the business." - GREGORY BENFORD David Hartwell is one of science fiction's most experienced and influential editors. Winner of the World Fantasy Award for his critically acclaimed anthology The Dark Descent, he has worked with many of the field's most respected writers. Newly revised for this edition, Age of Wonders is a fascinating examination of the origins, history and rich culture of the world of science fiction, written with deep insight and genuine affection for this wonder-filled literature. Accessible and entertaining, it is an indispensable guidebook for those new to the field. On its first publication, a decade ago, Frank Herbert, author of Dune, found it "a marvelous exploration of science fiction as it was, as it is, and as it might be. I was enthralled by Age of Wonders all the way through." And Roger Zelazny called it "a landmark work. Daring, imaginative, witty-it is the best commentary on the field yet written." DAVID G.
