Synopsis
Unlike fantasy, science fiction has no deep tradition in Austrian literature. It is mostly written by authors who have written no other fiction, sometimes by professional scientists for whom it is their natural literary outlet. Herbert W. Franke, the most prolific and prominent among them as well as Peter Schattsschneider and Michael Springer are all physicists.
This anthology gives a representative sample of Austrian science fiction and contains a comprehensive overview of its current state in the Introduction by the author.
