Herein are tales from well-reputed authors of their time who experimented with science fiction, amongst their other, better known works.The Unparalleled Adventure of One Hans Pfaall, Edgar Allen Poe, 1835. Intended by Poe to be a hoax, this tale describes a journey in a balloon that includes the view of the Earth from space and a volcanic, seething satellite.The Brick Moon, EE Hale, 1869. A tale of an artificial satellite, launched into orbit to aid navigation. Unfortunately, it is sent up with people aboard. This is their story. The first fictional depiction of a space station.The Case of Summerfield, WH Rhodes, 1871. The first depiction of weapons of mass destruction. Also includes a character whose name was taken as an alias by a famous outlaw.The Machine Stops, EM Forster, 1909. Voted one of the best pre-1965 Novellas by The Oxford and Cambridge Review, this work by one of the great English writers covers a humanity living below the ground, dependent on electronic communications.
