Science Fiction - MSN Encarta (1020 words)
The fiction published from 1926 to 1962 is often called modern science fiction, and almost all the novels published as science fiction during this period appeared first as magazine serials or were revised from magazine stories.
Science fiction also began to be published in the new mass-market paperback form and in hardcover, first from small presses devoted to science fiction and then by major publishers.
Science fiction also flourished in other parts of the world, most notably in eastern Europe and Russia, where a strong science-fiction tradition developed.
