Anatomy of Wonder


Anatomy of Wonder — A Critical Guide to Science Fiction is a reference book by Neil Barron, which covers hundreds of works of science fiction.
The review of Anatomy of Wonder by Dave Langford says that it is a unique reference book that lists hundreds of major SF works from antiquity to 1980, with plot summaries and recommendations for building up a collection of SF.
The book was nominated for the Hugo Award for Best Related Work for 1982, but lost to Danse Macabre.
