- catalog abstract "Excellent exposé historique assez complet, qui évite de justesse le catalogue, analyse brièvement quelque 500 romans ou nouvelles et devient ainsi une mine de renseignements sur la science-fiction moderne. L'auteur a pris comme base d'opération les grandes revues anglo-américaines par périodes, ce qui peut être discuté aux frontières, mais demeure indicateur de la métamorphose du roman type Verne ou Wells en cette speculative-fiction qui fait éclater le genre. Sadoul pose donc les jalons suivants: "Fondation" (1911-1923); "Cristallisation" (1926-1933); "Mutation" (1934-1938); "Moisson" (1939-1949); "Prolifération" (1950-1957); "Récession" (1958-1965); et "Résurrection" (1966-1971), pour tout le domaine anglo-américain. Quant au domaine français, il l'aborde en deux courts chapitres intitulés "Hier" (1905-1949) et "Demain" (1950-1972). En ce sens, cette recherche ne double pas les travaux de Versins ou de Van Herp qui donnaient prééminence aux oeuvres européennes. Cet ouvrage de base contient une bibliographie succincte et un index très abondant qui permet une information rapide et précise.".
