New Wave (science fiction)
The New Wave movement in science fiction began in 1964, when Michael Moorcock took over as editor for the British science fiction magazine New Worlds. The New Wave movement was a conscious reaction against then existing science fiction, which was seen as stodgy, irrelevant, and unambitious.
