	A Political History of SF
		The Futurians invented a kind of SF in which science was not at the center, and the transformative change motivating the story was not technological but political or social.
		While the Futurians' work was well understood at the time to be a poke at the consumer capitalism and smugness of the postwar years, only in retrospect is it clear how much they owed to the Frankfurt school of Marxist critical theory.
		But the Futurian revolt was half-hearted, semi-covert, and easily absorbed by the Campbellian mainstream of the SF field; by the mid-1960s, sociological extrapolation had become a standard part of the toolkit even for the old-school Golden Agers, and it never challenged the centrality of hard SF.

	Hacker Crackdown
		The Futurians were every bit as offbeat and wacky as any of their spiritual descendants, including the cyberpunks, and were given to communal living, spontaneous group renditions of light opera, and midnight fencing exhibitions on the lawn.
		The Futurians didn't have bulletin board systems, but they did have the technological equivalent in 1939--mimeographs and a private printing press.
		These were in steady use, producing a stream of science-fiction fan magazines, literary manifestos, and weird articles, which were picked up in ink-sticky bundles by a succession of strange, gangly, spotty young men in fedoras and overcoats.

	Strange Horizons Articles: Cyril M. Kornbluth: One of Science Fiction's Forgotten Greats, by James Palmer
		Born in Manhattan, Cyril M. Kornbluth was a member of the Futurians, a famous 1930s group of New York fans who grew up to become some of the genre's most famous practitioners—Isaac Asimov, Damon Knight, Frederik Pohl, DAW Books founder Donald A. Wollheim, and several others.
		One of the most prolific of the Futurians, Kornbluth was witty and acerbic, and described by everyone who knew him as having been born with a gift for language.
		But because he died so young, and because most of his novels, while good, were at the time accused of being somewhat pessimistic and scathing in their satire, he has fallen into relative obscurity.

		Welcome to The Futurians' sonic masterpiece, "Faktory." This, their "studio" album, is a masterful ode to the days when punk rock was not about a particular look, but about screaming at the top of your lungs on stage and puking your guts out on the street.

		As a fan, he was brilliant, extreme, short tempered, impetuous, bitter, and capable of any action required (ie, punching Forry Ackerman in the stomach at the first World Con in NYC for writing inane ideas in prozine letter columns).
		But the Futurians stuck together even when their ideas proved idealistic.
		The following words by Isaac Asimov, a fellow Futurian and the most distinguished mind of all the SF writers, speak to a quality that Kornbluth had and Asimov could not emulate: "Cyril Kornbluth was, perhaps, the most brilliant and certainly the most erratic of the Futurians.
