Sam J. Lundwall

I read this book a few years ago so don't recall much about it. It is an old study of science fiction. Contrary to the book description for this and the other 'Ace' edition, it is not in German, but is published in American English!

The satirical futurism was prescient (although not funny), and there were a ton of real world examples of cultural ridiculousness that I enjoyed learning about.

There was, however, no story to speak of, no characters of note, and nothing that made this more interesting than a wiki about how dumb things are and how dumb things could get would be.

Plus there was weird anti-Norwat stuff that must only make sense to Swedes.

Part two of Mister Lundwall's excellent listing of science fiction books published in Swedish.

A treasure for anyone interested in finding books in the science fiction, fantasy and horror genres published in Swedish. There is also a witty foreword discussing what is science fiction and what is not.
