Another Science Fiction

Another Science Fiction is the title of Megan Prelinger’s upcoming book featuring advertisements from the era of the great Space Race. If her name sounds familiar, it might be through her work on the Prelinger Library.

In a NY Times feature on the book, Prelinger states:

These images suggest that the furthest reach of what humankind hoped to find in space was in fact the very essence of infinity.

The above illustration is by Willi K. Baum. For more science and tech ads of the 50’s and 60’s, peruse this huge flickr set.

Another Science Fiction is currently available for preorder at Amazon.
