| Omschrijving | Essef - One of the most prophetic books of science-fiction ever written. Ralph 124C 41 is an early science fiction novel, written as a twelve-part serial in Modern Electrics magazine beginning in April 1911. It was later compiled into a novel/book form in 1925. While one of the most influential science fiction stories of all time, modern critics tend to pan the novel and few people read it today. The title itself is a play on words, meaning "one to foresee for many."
Even though Ralph 124C 41+ is one of the most influential science fiction stories of all time, and filled with numerous science fiction ideas, few people still read the story. Brian Aldiss has called the story a "tawdry illiterate tale" and a "sorry concoction" while Lester del Rey called it "simply dreadful." Groff Conklin more generously described it as "thoroughly delightful... [with] the genuine charm of a sound, workmanlike antique." |
