	Definitions of Science Fiction
		Science fiction is story-telling, usually imaginative as distinct from realistic fiction, which poses the effects of current or extrapolated scientific discoveries, or a single discovery, on the behavior of individuals of society.
		Science fiction is a branch of fantasy identifiable by the fact that it eases the "willing suspension of disbelief" on the part of its readers by utilizing an atmosphere of scientific credibility for its imaginative speculations in physical science, space, time, social science, and philosophy.
		Science fiction is that branch of fantasy, which, while not true to present-day knowledge, is rendered plausible by the reader's recognition of the scientific possibilities of it being possible at some future date or at some uncertain point in the past.

	Amish Science Fiction
		Science fiction is most frequently set in the future and/or peopled with people involved in science or influential events.
		Perhaps the science fiction writer who has used the Amish most extensively as subject matter is Paul Levinson, in the story "The Mendelian Lamp Case," and in the 1999 novel The Silk Code which expands that story's plot and themes.
		In the hundreds of science fiction and fantasy novels that we have surveyed, we have found only two works which refer to Mennonites (the broader denominational family the Amish are associated with): Gloss's Dazzle of Day has one passing reference, and Brackett's novel refers to Mennonites extensively.

		The Ballantine Original science fiction and fantasy books are hands down the most memorable of the titles published in the 1950's and 1960's.
		One of the Awful Truths about science fiction is it's internal irony of being by nature a fiction which is absolutely dependent on vision of the most imaginative sort, yet in whose works is found very little truly visionary output.
		Perhaps the most startlingly stylish of the science fiction paperback series, both in physical appearance and in importance to the history of the genre, the Ballantine Originals are an excellent focus for the collecting obsession.

	The James Tiptree, Jr. Award
		In February of 1991 at WisCon (the world's only feminist-oriented science fiction convention), award-winning SF author Pat Murphy announced the creation of the James Tiptree, Jr.
		This process ensures that the criteria for the award are reinvented every year by a new group of people whose only charge is to look for science fiction and fantasy that 'explores and expands gender.' Each set of judges refines and re-examines their own definitions of that phrase.
		The founding mothers and the motherboard instruct the judges not to release a list of nominees before the actual award, because we feel that creates an artificial set of "losers" instead of a list of books worthy of attention.
