New Encyclopedia of Science Fiction by Peter Nicholls
The first edition of this encyclopaedia was published in 1979. This edition, now available in paperback, is intended to be more than a simple updating. The world of science fiction in the 1990s is much more complex than it was in the 1970s. The advent of game worlds, shared worlds, graphic novels, film and television spin-offs, technothrillers, sf horror and others has meant that the book has been expanded dramatically to cope with the complexities and changes in the genre. It contains well over 4300 entries - 1500 more than the original - and, at 1.3 million words, is over half a million words longer than the first edition.
John Clute is an award-winning SF and fantasy author and in 1994 received the Pilgrim award for distinguished contributions to the study of science fiction. Peter Nicholls has won the Hugo Award and the Pilgrim Award for scholarship in science fiction.
