Resources
The Science Fiction Encyclopedia (SFE).
Arguably the single most important SF resource online. First published in print in 1979, online in its fourth edition since 2021. Edited by John Clute and David Langford. The Internet Speculative Fiction Database (ISFDB). Extremely useful bibliographic database covering SF, fantasy, and horror which strongly complements the SFE. Online since 1995. |
