.... "When Modernism Met Science Fiction: Three New Wave Classics"

"A fan named Peter Graham once said that the golden age of science
fiction is 12. That's true for me, although like many other fans I'd
insist that my first exposure to SF happened during the real golden
age. The decade from 1965 to 1975 was science fiction's so-called New
Wave, when the genre took on both the turmoil of the '60s and the
literary techniques of high modernism. The mix of the two created
spectacular results, as dozens of energized writers penned scores of
wonderful books. To this day their impact is being recognized; 2014
will see Samuel R. Delany named the newest Grand Master of the Science
Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America.

Here are three of the New Wave's best."
