Galactic Journey

Imagine living at the dawn of the New Wave of science fiction and fantasy. A beleaguered LBJ is struggling with the War in Vietnam and a War on Poverty. The Gemini and Voskhod space programs are done, but tragedy has set back both Apollo and Soyuz. Star Trek is gracing the small screen, while 2001 is expected on the silver screen at the end of the year. Joanna Russ and Ursula K. Le Guin are promising new science fiction authors. Spider-Man, The Fantastic Four, The X-Men, and the Avengers are bursting onto the comics scene. What would it be like to actually be there, experiencing life, the movies, the books, the music, day by day?

Gideon Marcus and his team live in 1967, regularly commuting 55 years into the future to write about then-contemporary science fiction and fantasy, particularly fiction found in magazines. But that’s not all there is to life 55 years ago! So expect to read about the movies, the space shots, the politics, the music, and much more!

Galactic Journey has been a smash hit, garnering the Serling Award and four Hugo Nominations. So come jump through the portal and see a world you may but dimly remember, or which you may never have seen before, but without which your time could never have been…
