{"product_id":"9781800856486","title":"Rise of the Cyberzines: The Story of the Science-Fiction Magazines from 1991 to 2020","description":"The Rise of the Cyberzines concludes Mike Ashley's five-volume series, which has tracked the evolution of the science-fiction magazine from its earliest days in the 1920s to its current explosion via the internet. This series has traced the ways in which the science-fiction magazine has reacted to the times and often led the way in breaking down barriers, for example in encouraging a greater contribution by women writers and stimulating science fiction globally. Magazines have continued to build upon past revolutions such as the 'new wave' and 'cyberpunk', producing a blend of high-tech science fiction and expansive speculative fiction that has broadened the understanding of science and its impact on society.This final volume, which covers the years 1991-2020, shows how the online magazine has superseded the print magazine and has continued to break down barriers, especially for the LGBTQ community and for writers of colour. ","brand":"Mike Ashley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47614983045438,"sku":"9781800856486","price":4840.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/files\/9781800856486.jpg?v=1715045205","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9781800856486","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
