Nine legendary authors - Poul Anderson, Isaac Asimov, John Brunner, Gordon Dickson, Harlan Ellison,
and James Gunn, Damon Knight, Frederik Pohl, and Jack Williamson -
present their ideas on why SF is important to readers
and what it teaches them. These excerpts are from a series of interviews and
lectures done from 1968—1978 by Professor James Gunn at
the University of Kansas. Full interviews are on the
Literature of SF DVD. This video is brought to you by
AboutSF and the Center for the Study
of Science Fiction at the University of Kansas.
