| Re: Whom do you consider to be the godfather/mother of Science fiction? Um, no offense, but ... as far as the history of the field, anyway, Gibson's just a baby!  (Mind you, I feel he's a very important figure... but ... father of the field??? ) |

| Re: Whom do you consider to be the godfather/mother of Science fiction? You seem to have a lot of duplication with your other thread, over in General Books, the greatest classic sc-fi writer thesis question. Did you intend to differentiate between the two questions to any degree, AW? If you did, I'd go along with Chris, and say the Godfathers would be the people who didn't write so much as influence writers - Gernsback and Campbell being the two that spring to mind in print. It's slightly different in film, so I would nominate Georges Méliès, Fritz Lang and Stanley Kubrick as three of the greats. |
