Science Fiction At City Library Along with the more important repercussions of the Atomic Age, librarians have become well aware of the growth of interest in the seemingly new branch of literaâ€" ture, science fiction. Actually, there have been a few good stories of this genre in every century since Shakespeare. Science fiction might be defined as fiction which concern$ â€" itself with â€" imaginary discoveries based on acceptable scientific fact or theory, and which usually attempts to predict the effect of such an invention on mankind, past, present, or fuâ€" ture. Science fiction usually falls into these categories: prophecy stories, in which the author tries to preâ€" dict the effects of a new invenâ€" tion; philosophical | stories, in which the author‘ presents, in story form, some philosophical question, using the medium of science fiction simply to set the stage for the particular point he wants to discuss; and adventure science fiction, wherein the action fand plot are the main point. . Several anthologies which have appeared in recent years serve as the best introduction to the genre by presenting the cream of the science stories since about 1925. Among these are "Best Science Fiction Stories, 1950;" Groff Conâ€" klin‘s "A Treasury of Science Ficâ€" "Beyond Time and Space," "Men Against the Stars," by Martin Greenberg; R. Healy‘s "Advenâ€" tures in Time and Space;" and Leo Margulies‘ ‘"My Best Science Fiction Story." Novels of science fiction have also made their mark in recent years.â€"A sampling of these taken from the Highland Park Public Library‘s collection include Isaac Asimov‘s, "Pebble in the Sky," and "I, Robot;" Ray Bradbury‘s "The Martian Chronicles;" Murâ€" North Shore Florist Telograph Delivery Service * August _ Derleth‘s ‘"The Highwood Glass & FOR EVERY OCCASION 290 Gresnweed Avenue 963 Waukegan Ave. I Phones, MJ 2â€"7211 F L OW ER S February muw-“sw-h-hmr "The Flying Saucer," by Bernard traveling through space in science fiction merely whets their appetite for more serious scientific study, may we direct their reading to a number of books on astronomy now being displayed in the readâ€" ing room of the library, together with E.
