It seemed to me that the time was due to reinvestigate the Gernsback era and dig into the facts surrounding the origins of Amazing Stories. I wanted to find out exactly why Hugo Gernsback had launched the magazine, what he was trying to achieve, and to consider what effects he had-good and bad. . . . Too many writers and editors from the Gernsback days have been unjustly neglected, or unfairly criticized. Now, I hope, Robert A. W. Lowndes and I have provided the grounds for a fair consideration of their efforts, and a true reconstruction of the development of science fiction. It's the closest to time travel you'll ever get. I hope you enjoy the trip.\"-Mike Ashley, Preface\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wildside Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47613919297687,"sku":"9780809510559","price":2638.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780809510559.webp?v=1775088915","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-gernsback-days-9780809510559","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
