Overview: Im dritten Band seiner Reihe entfaltet Laßwitz-Preisträger Hans Frey das widersprüchliche Panorama der SF in der jungen Bundesrepublik (1945-1968). Wie gewohnt bettet er plausibel, sachkundig und spannend-unterhaltsam den Neustart des Genres in den ebenso fortschrittsgläubigen wie angstbesetzten Zeitgeist ein. Die Transformation des alten deutschen Zukunftsromans, die Fandom-Entstehung, der starke angloamerikanische Einfluss und sich verändernde Medien gaben der West-SF eine vitale Dynamik. Vertieft wird das Bild durch eine Fülle wiederentdeckter SF-Originaltexte und zahlreiche Portraits der »Macher«. Oft trashig, aber auch anspruchsvoll verwandelte die zeitgenössische SF das Atomthema, den Kalten Krieg, die beginnende Weltraumfahrt u.v.a.m. in wirkmächtige Mythen der Moderne. Heftserien wie UTOPIA, TERRA und PERRY RHODAN, wichtige Verlage und SF-Neuland stehen neben der SF-affinen Mainstreamliteratur. Viele seltene Abbildungen und ein ausführliches Literatur- und Stichwortverzeichnis ergänzen das Werk. OPTIMISMUS UND OVERKILL ist ein wichtiges Literaturkompendium, das erneut begeistert.»Science Fiction ist der zeitgemäße Ausdruck historischen Selbstverständnisses.«— Michael SalewskiPressestimmen zum zweiten Band Aufbruch in den Abgrund:»Als ausführliche, solide recherchierte und kontextualisierte, chronologische Enzyklopädie ist (das Buch) nicht zu überschätzen. (…) Eine Fundgrube!«— TOR online 29.4.2020»Wer das Genre Science Fiction liebt, der wird dieses Buch eh in einem Rutsch verschlingen.«— Westdeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung»Es gibt einen Menschen namens Hans Frey, der 2018 die großartige Studie Fortschritt und Fiasko (…) vorgelegt und diese Leistung nun mit einem noch besseren zweiten Band übertroffen hat: Aufbruch in den Abgrund (…). Das zweite Buch zeigt noch deutlicher als das erste, wie kompliziert der Wurzelknoten war, aus dem die Literatur der Zukunft und der Alternativhistorie zu ihrer heutigen Gestalt heranwuchs.«— Dietmar Dath, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, 7.5.2020»Dieses Buch zu lesen macht nicht nur schlauer – es macht auch noch Spaß!«— temporamores-newsletter 319/4.4.2020Inhalt:VorwortERSTER TEIL: Neubeginn der westdeutschen SF (1945–1960)ZeitzeichenPersonen, Strukturen, MedienInhalt und FormZWEITER TEIL: Verfestigung, Erneuerung, ­Expansion (1960–1968)Von der Modernisierung zur InnovationHören und SehenANHANG LiteraturverzeichnisStichwortverzeichnis

An acceptable diversion. The tempo was somewhat languid, and I found my mind wandering. Not poor, simply average. Perfectly average.
