Science fiction story: from Edgar Allan Poe to Viết Linh by Ngô Bích Thu is one of the first in-depth investigations into science fiction in Vietnam
It is the fruit of a research project conducted by the author since the beginning of the 2010s. Thanks to an appropriate approach and a gentle writing style, the author has produced a book that is not only academic but also interesting for the readers who love science fiction, a special genre combining science and art, logic and imagination. The book reveals special techniques of sci-fi composition, and at the same time offers a brief history of the genre by introducing some of the greatest authors of science fiction in the world, such as Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849), Jules Verne (1828-1905), Herbert George Wells (1866 - 1946). A remarkable contribution of the book is the chapter devoted to Viết Linh (1931-2021), probabably the most successful author of Vietnamese science fiction.
The publication of book contributes to promoting science fiction genre to a large number of readers. Perhaps, it is also a way for contemporary Vietnamese literature to catch up with the spirit of the industrial revolution 4.0.
