I read Have Space Suit, Will Travel in grade five, so 1972 or
thereabouts? HSWT would have been about 14 years old then. An old
timey classic of similar age to a modern day young reader would have
been published in 2009.

A lot of the younger folks I have contact with look up to movies rather
than books ;( most notably one series starting in 1977, which I was
already too old to gain much satisfaction from. I guess that for a
few more the Book of Gold is actually a comic going back 70-80 years?

It should be noted that not all eras are created equal. A 12-year-old
discovering science fiction in 1950 would have been -- primarily --
reading SF classics first published in 1939-1949 as opposed to in
1926-1938. A 12-year-old discovering science fiction in 1959-1963,
i.e. during the "death of science fiction" period [1], would have been
-- primarily -- reading SF classics first published in 1939-1958.

On the other hand, the field has grown so large over the last few
decades that it may be undergoing "genre speciation", for lack of
a better term. It's possible that, at any given point in time, some
sub-fields are going through a Golden Age while others are in
decline.

[1] The original one as opposed to later imitations which have been
occasionally postulated by various authors and critics, e.g. Robert
J. Sawyer in the early 1990s -- see

I haven't seen Sea Wasp post in quite some time. Is he still around
somewhere?
