  Astounding (magazine) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
By the late 1930s it had become the leader in its field, and is often considered the forum where modern science fiction was created.
It is almost certainly true that a larger proportion of the fiction published in the magazine during these years has subsequently been reprinted in book form than is true of any of the other science-fiction magazines of this period or even of later periods of Astounding itself.
In contrast to the literary bent of its main competitors, Asimov's Science Fiction and The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, Analog is known for focusing more on the brass tacks of science and technology (the book review column is even called "Brass Tacks").

Astounding/Analog (often all-encompassingly just called ASF) is often considered the magazine where science fiction grew up.
The new sophistication soon made Astounding the undisputed leader in the field, and Campbell began to think the old title was too "sensational" to reflect what the magazine was actually doing.
He chose "Analog" in part because he thought of each story as an "analog simulation" of a possible future, and in part because of the close analogy he saw between the imagined science in the stories he was publishing and the real science being done in laboratories around the world.

 Analog: TOO HARD?
He seems to be trying his best to make Drexler look like a wild visionary whose "fanciful scenarios" far exceed anything that will actually happen, and strongly (but without supporting data) suggests that more reputable scientists and technologists agree with him than with Drexler.
Heavily stressing the difficulties of detail being encountered by experimentalists, he largely ignores the significance of the fact that many of them thought enough of the subject to do the work and to go to this conference.
The fact that researchers are having trouble doing much simpler things than Drexler's long-term vision of a radically transformed future in no way proves that vision invalid.
