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 experts on the history of Science Fiction.
Returning to Postcards Alec Nevala-Lee – Asimovebiographer and the author of
Astounding (A history of the golden age SF) and Seth Heasley host of The Hugo award-nominated
podcast The Hugos There.

The story

we are covering is the 1941 classic “Nightfall” by Issac Asimov This story
about a mad scientist and a pocket universe is here in its original form if you
