The New Yorker and Science Fiction


Wanting to find science fiction in The New Yorker? You'll have about as much luck as flying to the moon on a homemade jet-pack rocket suit. Though, of late, science fiction has received kudos far and wide and a certain amount of literary prestige, there's been only one science fiction story within the page of The New Yorker in the last decade. io9 takes a look at the history of science fiction in The New Yorker, starting in 1978 (they only published three total sci-fi stories prior to that) with the works of Stanislaw Lem.
