Philip José Farmer on science fiction

Update: 2023-02-10

Description

Season five of Vintage Sci-Fi Shorts is coming soon. I’m reading stories from the first two volumes of the classic speculative fiction magazine Fantastic Universe, including stories in the public domain from Evelyn Goldstein, Philip K. Dick and Judith Merril.

In the meantime, enjoy this essay from Philip Jose Farmer. I think it really captures the heart and spirit of the magazine.
