AboutTimelines
Science fiction, past, present and future.
Sci-Fi Timelines follows science fiction through time: the books, films, television, radio and magazines that imagined the future, from the pulps to the present day.
We have a romance with the retro. The great bloom of the 1950s, when paperbacks, digests and drive-in screens filled up with rockets, robots and atomic dread, is close to our hearts, and so is everything it led to. But the famous landmarks are only part of the story. We like the less-travelled corners: the strange novel that went out of print, the low-budget film that was smarter than its poster, the episode nobody repeats any more. Some of that material is forgotten and some of it is worn thin by familiarity. Both deserve a fresh look.
