Something is wrong with Dad… Charlie knows it, but no one believes him. Is it all in his head, or has something terrifying taken his father's place? The Father Thing by Philip K. Dick. That's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Philip K. Dick, what a mind. It has been said that Dick believed he was living in two timelines simultaneously, one as himself in 1970s California and another as a persecuted Christian in ancient Rome. These bizarre experiences fueled his paranoia but also deepened the philosophical depth of his later works. Today's story is one of his earlier works, published in Fantasy and Science Fiction Magazine in December 1954 on page 105, The Father Thing by Philip K. Dick…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, A curious antique dealer discovers a strange crystal egg that reveals eerie glimpses of an alien world teeming with life.

1/4: The Asteroid Hunter: A Scientist's Journey to the Dawn of our Solar System Hardcover – March 19, 2024 by  Dante Lauretta  (Author) https://www.amazon.com/Asteroid-Hunter-Scientists-Journey-System/dp/1538722941 On September 11, 1999, humanity made a monumental discovery in the vastness of space. Scientists uncovered an asteroid of immense scientific importance—a colossal celestial entity. As massive as an aircraft carrier and towering as high as the iconic Empire State Building, this cosmic titan was later named Bennu. Remarkable for much more than its size, Bennu belonged to a rare breed of asteroids capable of revealing the essence of life itself. But just as Bennu became a beacon of promise, researchers identified a grave danger. Hurtling through space, it threatens to collide with our planet on September 24, 2182. Leading the expedition was Dr. Dante Lauretta, the Principal Investigator of NASA's audacious OSIRIS-REx Asteroid Sample Return Mission. Tasked with unraveling Bennu's mysteries, his team embarked on a daring quest to retrieve a precious sample from the asteroid's surface — one that held the potential to not only unlock the secrets of life's origins but also to avert an unprecedented catastrophe. A tale of destiny and danger, The Asteroid Hunter chronicles the high-stakes mission firsthand, narrated by Dr. Lauretta. It offers readers an intimate glimpse into the riveting exploits of the mission and Dr. Lauretta's wild, winding personal journey to Bennu and back. Peeling back the curtain on the wonders of the cosmos, this enthralling account promises a rare glimpse into the tightly woven fabric of scientific exploration, where technical precision converges with humanity's profound curiosity and indominable spirit. 1960 SCIENCE FICTION MAGAZINE

It's not required but it is appreciated.Philip K. Dick was a brilliant science fiction writer and is the most popular author here on our podcast. Dick is known for his works that often explored the nature of reality and consciousness. One day, so the story goes, he was walking home from the grocery store when he suddenly had a profound realization that the world around him wasn't real. He became obsessed with the idea that reality was just a construct and that the people, places, and things he saw were just projections created by a higher power.His own personal beliefs about reality bled into his everyday life. He became paranoid, convinced that he was being monitored and manipulated by the government or extraterrestrial beings. Despite his beliefs, Philip K. Dick continued to write and produce some of the most thought-provoking and impactful science fiction of his time. He is remembered as one of the most brilliant and unconventional science fiction writers of all time.And speaking of brilliant and unconventional let's go to the pages of “If Worlds of Science Fiction Magazine” in May 1954. We'll find our story on page 27, Prominent Author by Philip K. Dick.Next week on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast…He was tired of people—a "human interest" columnist, who specializes in glamorizations of the commonplace and sordid is likely to get that way.

Well, here we are again with another installment on Asimov's swansong, Forward the Foundation. You might recall that Forward was written as a series of Novellas the first three of which appeared in Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine. The installment we're discussing this time is "Cleon I" which originally appeared in the magazine's 15th-anniversary issue in April 1992 as "Cleon the Emperor." Much like the previous story, it isn't very much about the titular character but it's a lot about Hari Seldon. This one is set during his tenure as Cleon's First Minister. The cover, by Gary Friedman, is lovely; it's Asimov himself alongside a woman who is almost certainly Dors Venabali. I can't say it's Dors for sure, but I can state with absolute certainty that character is neither from Mycogen nor Dahl. Inside the issue, there's an extensive editorial about the Foundation series and its history and it answers, in part, one of the questions we posed on the podcast. We'd wondered why Asimov decided to write Forward as a series of novellas and evidently, the genesis of the idea came from Jennifer Brehl, who Asimov calls "my brilliant and lovely editor." You can see the cover and read more about the editorial at your leisure on our website. And, if you want to learn more about those costume design awards, there's some more information here. But in the meantime, join us for our latest episode as we continue through the life story of Hari Seldon!

We have an amazing story for you today on the podcast, certainly one of the most fascinating stories we've ever heard. This author lived a pretty extraordinary life. He was hired by legendary Hollywood director Alfred Hitchcock to write a screenplay for what would become one of Hitchcock's greatest movies. It was one of several screenplays written by our featured author. Actors who starred in projects he wrote and developed for the big screen and Television include Richard Chamberlain, F. Murray Abraham, Ben Johnson, Jerry Orbach, Robby Benson, Raquel Welch, Burt Reynolds, Yul Brynner, Tom Skerritt , Kirk Douglas, Kim Novak, Barbara Rush, Walter Matthau, Rod Taylor, Tippi Hedren, Jessica Tandy, and Suzanne Pleshette. Wow! If You're a movie buff you may have already guessed that the Hitchcock classic he wrote the screenplay for was, The Birds. Before Hitchcock and Hollywood our author served on a destroyer in the Pacific in the Navy during World War II. We're just getting started. He wrote more than 139 novels over 53 years! That's an average of a little more than 2 and a half novels a year for more than half a century. He was born in East Harlem New York in 1926. Born Salvatore Albert Lombino, he legally changed his name to Evan Hunter in 1952, but before he did, he sold a short science fiction story to If, Worlds of Science Fiction Magazine. In the magazine, which had made its debut two months earlier in March 1952, he is credited with writing “Welcome, Martians!” As S.A. Lombino which as fas I can tell was one of only a handful of times he used his real name. So why the name change? Well, as the story goes an editor once told him his Italian heritage might stop him from achieving great success, so SA Lombino became Evan Hunter. Oh, and if you think you recognize the name Evan Hunter, you're probably right. Lombino took a number of jobs in the early 1950's to pay the bills while attempting to get his writing career off the ground. One of them led to a novel, which became a movie, starring Glenn Ford, Sidney Pointier, Vic Morrow and Anne Francis. He spent 17 days as a teacher at the Bronx Vocational High School in September 1950. That experience led to his 6th novel titled The Blackboard Jungle which became the movie of the same name starring the previously mentioned star studded cast. Lombino, or Hunter had several pen names John Abbott, Curt Cannon, Hunt Collins, Ezra Hannon, Richard Marsten and then there's the name he used most often, Ed McBain! As McBain he wrote the “87th Precinct” crime series. Once again his novels made their way to Television. In 1961 and 62 NBC aired a police drama called “87th Precinct”. He started writing for television in 1956 with a teleplay for "The Kaiser Aluminum Hour" which aired on NBC in 1956 and 57 and he wrote the story for two episodes of "Mickey Spillane's Mike Hammer" a syndicated TV show, two years later in 1958 and 59. He didn't write a lot of science fiction but what he did write is good.  I chose this story because it's unusual. A story written by a writer, about a writer getting a little help from a bizarre source. Writing stories was hard work—unless Fred had a typewriter like "Reggie" that could write by itself! Nonsense?

We had some serious technical issues with this episode, so what you're about to hear is a bit of a patchwork, with variable technical quality and some parts we had to re-record. However, we think the information content makes it a good listen... In the latest episode of the Science Fiction 101 podcast, we travel back in time to review the Christmas 1951 issue of Galaxy Science Fiction magazine. Galaxy was the magazine which led the science fiction field in the 1950s, bringing to the genre a greater concern for humanist themes, sociology, psychology and social satire. Among its successes were the first publication of Ray Bradbury's "The Fireman" (soon expanded into FAHRENHEIT 451) and the first appearance of Alfred Bester's THE DEMOLISHED MAN. We review the December 1951 issue from cover to cover - we even review the book reviews and the ads! Science Fiction 101 is presented by Phil Nichols (of Bradburymedia and Bradbury 100) and Colin Kuskie (of Take Me To Your Reader). Check out our website at 101sf.blogspot.com.

"Speech Sounds" by Octavia Butler was published in 1983 in Isaac Asimov's "Science Fiction Magazine." A pandemic (oof) has swept the world, killing many and leaving the rest in shambles. The story follows Rye, a woman traveling to find her remaining family members. Instead, she finds Obsidian and begins a brief relationship with him.

We talk about Sheila's nearly 40 years editing science fiction stories at Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine, how she manages to balance new and diverse voices with a foundation of SF's history, how she copes with receiving ~800 stories a month (while only being able to buy 5-6), and technology's greater role in day-to-day life and what that means for writers' and readers' imagination and expectations. We also get into her author freakouts (like going blank when she met Samuel R.

Pretendía que figurase en más cuentos? Leyendo un poco, encontré esta fantástica página donde lo explican (lnk abajo). Según parece, Dick envío ambos cuentos a “Fantasy and Science Fiction Magazine” prácticamente a la vez. El título original era “Left shoe, my foot”. En la submision, el joven e inexperto con los editores Dick escribía lo siguiente: “Por favor perdóneme totalmente, pero os envío esta historia mientras todavía tenéis la primera. La razón: ambas historias están relacionadas, y estoy seguro que querríais verlas juntas. Ahora, “La máquina preservadora” es largo, contemplativa y filosófica. “Zapato izquierdo, mi pie” es corta, descriptiva y fuerte. En el fondo de mi mente está la idea de ellas formando algún tipo de serie con quizá más relatos por venir. La temática es la misma, los personajes los mismos, etc. Pero puede que penséis que deba abandonar alguna de esas ideas, quizá la de hacer una serie. De los dos, me gusta más “Zapato izquierdo, mi pie”. Que ésta sobreviva y “La máquina” perezca no me sorprendería”. Al final le hicieron hacer un montón de correcciones a ambas (reducir las a la mitad de hojas para empezar) y el 7 y el 15 de Mayo de 1952 le aceptaron las dos. Bien por Dick! Se publicó en 1954 con el título final de “The short, happy life of the Brown Oxford” Cuál será esta temática que Dick dice que ambos comparten? El absurdo científico? Una reflexión postmoderna de la forma de avanzar de la ciencia, de las pretensiones de nosotros humanitos? La transmutación?

I was driving with my brother, the preacher, and my nephew, the preacher's son, on I-65 just north of Bowling Green when we got a flat. It was Sunday night and we had been to visit Mother at the Home. We were in my car. The flat caused what you might call knowing groans since, as the old-fashioned one in my family (so they tell me), I fix my own tires, and my brother is always telling me to get radials and quit buying old tires. | © 1990 by Terry Bisson. Originally published in Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine. Narrated by Stefan Rudnicki.
