#12Booksof2020 @Andrew65
This book was an excellent exploration of the beginnings and context of the writers of the Golden Age of sci-fi, with a particular focus on 3 writers. Alec nevala-Lee doesn't hesitate to point out all the issues with this period of writers, but shows how this led to the mainstreaming of a niche genre.This book introduced me to a great bunch of short stories as well.

Clearly Asimov was the deepest thinker of the lot!

“Damn it, Asimov, you have a built-in doubter.”

“Thank goodness I do, Mr. Campbell.”
