The Golden Age

Works by Isaac Asimov, Ray Bradbury, Arthur C. Clarke and Robert Heinlein popularised science fiction in the middle of the 20th Century.

A virtually unknown subject became a literary genre, not necessarily because of the authors’ style, but for their incredible imaginations and fantasies. Their novels had a tremendous, irreversible impact – particularly on teenage boys, who lapped up the stories not just on paper, but through film and television adaptations.

These important authors continue to inspire the film industry to this day.
