Demolished Foundations

Foundation, the International Review of Science Fiction, has a new edition available (number 146) that includes essays by great writers such as Abi Curtis, Harry Josephine Giles and Roz Kaveney, plus reviews by Niall Harrison, Fiona Moore and others.

There’s a regular feature in the magazine called The Fourfold Library, in which a writer explains the impact they feel a particular novel/piece of work has had upon their own.

I was asked to contribute to The Fourfold Library and so I wrote about Alfred Bester’s The Demolished Man. The piece also includes mentions of 2000AD, the Alfred Hitchcock film Marnie, and Marks and Spencer.

You can get a copy of Foundation through the Science Fiction Foundation website here. It’s a hugely interesting read.
