In 1970 Avon Books published a landmark anthology “Science Fiction Hall of Fame” featuring 16 classic short stories that represent landmark tales of the genre. The stories were voted on by the members of the new (at the time in the late 60s) organization Science Fiction Writers of America. In this series, I will be joined by a panel of different guests to break down these stories and talk about the authors in the book. In this episode, I am joined by two returning guests. First up is the Hugo award-winning fan writer Cora Buhlert who knows her Science Fiction. Steve Davison is the current owner and publisher of one of the longest-running Science Fiction magazines Amazing Stories. Because this is the first episode we talk a lot about the make-up of the book and the process editor Robert Silverberg used to put the book together.

¿Qué es la realidad? Según el filósofo Berkeley, nosotros no vemos, palpamos, oímos y gustamos el objeto, sino que tenemos la sensación de ver, palpar, oír y gustar. Las sensaciones son fenómenos mentales. Existen en nuestras mentes. ¿Cómo sabemos, pues, si los objetos en sí sólo existen en nuestras mentes? En 1935 fue publicado el cuento de ciencia ficción "Las gafas de Pigmalión" del escritor norteamericano Stanley G. Weinbaum. El relato nos habla de unas gafas creadas por el profesor Albert Ludwig que permiten experimentar un mundo con olor, gusto y tacto. Este cuento es el primero que hace referencia a la Realidad Virtual.

Hablamos de las nuevas realidades que nos trae la tecnología con Eduardo Herranz, co-fundador y COO de Virtual Voyagers y un auténtico experto en Realidad Virtual y Mixta.«¿Pero qué es la realidad?» preguntó el hombre que parecía un gnomo. Señaló los altos edificios que se alzaban alrededor de Central Park, con sus innumerables ventanas brillando como los fuegos de las cuevas de una ciudad de Cromagones. «Todo es sueño, todo es ilusión; yo soy tu visión como tú eres mía».Así comienza el cuento corto «Las gafas de Pigmalión«, de Stanley G. Weinbaum, que fue publicado en Wonder Stories en Julio de 1935. Este cuento nos habla del invento del profesor Albert Ludwig que permite experimentar el mundo a través de unas gafas; un mundo con olor, gusto y tacto. El relato se desarrolla en torno al espectador de manera interactiva y representa el primer registro escrito de lo que se conoce ahora como Realidad Virtual.Evidentemente, en 1935 no existía ninguna tecnología que pudiera soportar este concepto, quedaba todo en la mente de Weinbaum.En 1984 un científico de Microsoft, Jaron Lanier, acuñó el término de Realidad Virtual y creó la compañía VPL Research. 3 años después, en 1987, esta compañía lanzaría al mercado el EyePhone, un sistema compuesto por un casco de realidad virtual y el DataGlove, un guante conectado a este sistema de Realidad Virtual. La inversión necesaria para poder comprar y hacer funcionar el EyePhone ascendía a unos 250.0

www.StoryLinkRadio.com Early in the 21st century, nearly twenty years after the invention of atomic power and ten years after the first lunar landing, the four-man crew of the Ares has landed on Mars in the Mare Cimmerium. A week after the landing, Dick Jarvis, the ship's American chemist, sets out south in an auxiliary rocket to photograph the landscape. Eight hundred miles out, the engine on Jarvis' rocket gives out, and he crash-lands into one of the Thyle regions. Rather than sit and wait for rescue, Jarvis decides to walk back north to the Ares. Just after crossing into the Mare Chronium, Jarvis comes across a tentacled Martian creature attacking a large birdlike creature. He notices that the birdlike Martian is carrying a bag around its neck, and recognizing it as an intelligent being, saves it from the tentacled monstrosity. The rescued creature refers to itself as Tweel. Tweel accompanies Jarvis on his trip back to the Ares, in the course of which the pair encounter many bizarre Martian creatures and endure numerous life-threatening adventures. "A Martian Odyssey" was created by American writer Stanley G. Weinbaum originally published in the July 1934 issue of Wonder Stories. It was followed four months later by a sequel, "Valley of Dreams". Isaac Asimov described "A Martian Odyssey" as "a perfect Campbellian science fiction story, before John W. Campbell." In Asimov's words, "The Martian Tweel may be the first creature in science fiction to fulfil Campbell's dictum, 'write me a creature who thinks as well as a man, or better than a man, but not like a man'." Asimov considered "A Martian Odyssey" to be one of only three stories that changed the way all subsequent ones in the science fiction genre were written. It is the oldest short story selected for inclusion in The Science Fiction Hall of Fame, and it was voted one of the all-time best sci-fi stories, coming in second only to Isaac Asimov's "Nightfall."
