Description
Praise For Another Science Fiction: Advertising the Space Race 1957a-1962…
"A brilliant tour through the iconography and literature of America's grandest corporate dreamtime, the Space Age." —William Gibson, author of Neuromancer and Pattern Recognition
"I wish I had this book when I started Mad Men. This is exactly what I look for, a concise visual-historical reference of mid-century advertising. Megan Prelinger has uniquely and beautifully taken us on a trip back to space." —Gay Perello, Prop Master for Mad Men
"Stupendous." —Jonathan Lethem, author of Motherless Brooklyn and The Fortress of Solitude
"To the author of this remarkable work must go well-deserved laurels for rescuing rocket/space ad artwork from virtual obscurity. Megan Prelinger's book is a treasure that should find a worldwide readership of space historians, lovers of space art, and all who seek to understand the evolution of humanity's transition to a space-faring species." —Fred Ordway, former member of the Wernher von Braun rocket team and consultant to Stanley Kubrick for 2001: A Space Odyssey
