Liverpool Science Fiction Texts and Stud The Rise of the Cyberzines: The Story of the Science-Fiction Magazines from 1991 to 2020, Book 73, (Hardcover)

<p>Shortlisted for the Locus Science Fiction Foundation Non-Fiction Award 2023 <em>The Rise of the Cyberzines</em> concludes Mike Ashley's five-volume series, which has tracked the evolution of the science-fiction magazine from its earliest days in the 1920s to its current explosion via the internet. This series has traced the ways in which the science-fiction magazine has reacted to the times and often led the way in breaking down barriers, for example in encouraging a greater contribution by women writers and stimulating science fiction globally. Magazines have continued to build upon past revolutions such as the 'new wave' and 'cyberpunk', producing a blend of high-tech science fiction and expansive speculative fiction that has broadened the understanding of science and its impact on society. This final volume, which covers the years 1991-2020, shows how the online magazine has superseded the print magazine and has continued to break down barriers, especially for the LGBTQ community and for writers of colour. </p>
