 TIMELINE 1960s page of ULTIMATE SCIENCE FICTION WEB GUIDE
At the same time, films were made with an ironic, satiric, or self-referential edge not typical of earlier times, such as "Barbarella" (1967) with Jane Fonda as the sexy comic book heroine, "The Tenth Victim" (1965) from a novel "The Ninth Victim" by Robert Sheckley.
For the first time, science fiction books regularly hit the best-seller list, and the top writers began to receive hundreds of thousands of dollars in advance for their novels.
It was the heyday of the paperback book, which along with television's "Star Trek" and Hollywood films, continued to push science fiction magazines into a lesser space in the imagination.

 Amazon.com: Books: City of Saints and Madmen: The Book of Ambergris
Set in the haunted city of Ambergris, with its Borges Bookstore, these stories feature bizarre recurring characters and intensely self-referential plots.
In the end, there's not much more that I can except that "City of Saints and Madmen" is not only one of the most beautifully rendered books I have encountered, but one of the most supremely written.
"City of Saints and Madmen" is a beautifully written collection of pieces that are all interrelated and connected to the fantastic city of Ambergris.

 The Sweetest Poison, or The Discovery of L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E Poetry on the Web
One of the abiding concerns of L=...=E poets has been to fight the reference fetish in capitalist language formations: "The referential fetish in language is inseparable from the representational theory of the sign.
On the ubu mailing list, Darren Wershler-Henry called attention to "an overanxiety among the Language poets about 'fetishizing' the text in any way, which resulted in weirdly puritanical-looking books." The book, which is the vehicle for the vast majority of L=...=E poet’s texts, is subject to fetishization regardless of the design.
Sugarplum reconfigures the author/reader functional roles and accomplishes the general diminishment of reference through a mechanization of the linguistic Sign, where each word's only value and function is that of sheer linguistic stimuli for its mechanical reader.
