Golden Age of Science Fiction

The Golden Age of Science Fiction, often recognized as a period from the early 1940s through the 1950s, was an era during which the science fiction genre gained wide public attention and many classic science fiction stories were published. The term also frequently is used in reference to the period of adolescence when many youths, particularly boys, develop a great passion for science fiction. The saying "The golden age of science fiction is twelve" has been attributed to various persons including Terry Carr, Ray Bradbury, and David Hartwell.
