Nordic History of Science Fiction



John Christopher is an incredible talent many have never read

 Supernatural fiction (as opposed to realistic or mundane fiction) includes two main branches, Fantasy and Science Fiction. The genres are related but distinct; Fantasy primarily consists of stories inspired by Nordic folklore and mythology, whereas Science Fiction is more concerned with the application of technology to the future. Fantasy literature and Nordic people go together like peanut butter and jelly, and will not be further elucidated here.  Non-Aryan influence in Fantasy is negligible, and for those looking for literary works for any age reader, Fantasy literature is abundant and affirmative. Science Fiction represents a more twisted skein; non-whites such as Hugo Gernsback and Isaac Asimov are present in the creation and propagation of Science Fiction. However, we do have an indigenous science fiction literature that is fully developed and able to be separated from that of foreigners.
  Two of the primary themes of Science Fiction include the Post-Apocalypse and the Space Opera. Other themes include Anthropology, Sociology, Politics, Hard Science, Biology, Futurism, Time Travel, Alien Contact, Alternate History and more.
  The Post-Apocalypse genre is almost exclusively Nordic, and includes plenty of work by our best Science Fiction writers, including Mary Shelley, Jack London, Poul Anderson, J. G. Ballard, Leigh Brackett, John Brunner, John Christopher, Gordon Dickson, Stephen King, Cormac McCarthy, Nevil Shute, S. M. Stirling, Philip Wylie and John Wyndham. Of these writers, and this really is only a smattering, this reviewer would put John Christopher at the top of the genre. The Death of Grass is the outstanding work in the field.  Ballard's The Drowned World is another outstanding work.  I have never read well-regarded novels such as Nevil Shute's On the Beach, Stewart's Earth Abides, or Dickson's Wolf and Iron.  I welcome anyone who has to post a review, or shoot me a message on Gab.
Great book for kids



  Some non-white authors to avoid in this genre are David Brin (The Postman), Octavia Butler (Parable series), Harlan Ellison, Russell Hoban (Riddley Walker), C. M. Kornbluth (Syndic), Jonathan Lethem, Judith Merrill, Larry Niven, Edgar Pangborn, and Robert Sheckley. Some questionable authors are Roger Zelazny, Walter Miller, and Fritz Leiber (unclear backgrounds). 

  For children, any of John Christopher's young adult books are enthusiastically recommended, as is Poul Anderson's Vault of the Ages.  All of these books are easily available in used paperback for less than $5.

  Science Fiction proper is generally imagined as Space Opera and again this seems to be a mainly Nordic conception - that of small societies creating new empires. Writers in this theme include the giants Robert Heinlein (Starship Troopers), and author/editor John W. Campbell, probably the two greatest figures in Science Fiction, and literature generally, of the 20th century.  Other classics include Frank Herbert's Dune, Orson Scott Card's Ender's Game, and Dan Simmons' Hyperion. Space Opera today is massively dominated by Whites, most of whom have questionable politics, such as Vernor Vinge, Jack McDevitt, Lois Bujold, Douglas Adams, Peter Hamilton, James S. A. Corey, Stephen Baxter, John Scalzi, Arthur C. Clarke, Alastair Reynolds, and Iain Banks.  These aforementioned writers are to be read with caution at best, and are not recommended. There is enough superior product by relatively conscious whites to make them unnecessary. For young readers, Heinlein's many young adult books are highly recommended, as are Orson Scott Card's.  For adults, the most literary offering is probably Dan Simmons' Hyperion series. Anything Simmons writes is both fast paced and erudite, and well worth the time.

ESP = Racial Consciousness. An alternative to anti-white psychiatry and psychology


  Other well regarded White Science Fiction authors in a variety of themes include Brian Aldiss, James Blish, Ray Bradbury, Algis Budrys, Anthony Burgess, Philip K. Dick, William Gibson, William Golding, Ursula Le Guin, Michael Moorcock, Christopher Priest, Cordwainer Smith, Neal Stephenson, Kurt Vonnegut, and Gene Wolfe. If you like Revilo P. Oliver, Gene Wolfe is for you. His politics are hard to define, but his writing is extraordinary. If he's anti-white in any fashion, it's not obvious. I very rarely re-read a novel; Shadow of the Torturer by Wolfe is one I have read at least four times fruitfully.  Kurt Vonnegut has a cloudy background, although he did the world the service of describing the fire bombing of Dresden. Ursula Le Guin also has a bit of a shady background, her father Arthur Kroeber was a staunch ally of Boas and Levi-Strauss in the establishment of anti-white anthropology).

Robert Price, telling Providence hipsters that Lovecraft Was Right.  After forty years of dedicated fandom, Price was excommunicated from the very community he created. Did not back down.


  The most racially conscious SF authors of all are H.P. Lovecraft and Robert E. Howard.  Lovecraft and Howard have large devoted fandoms through Cthulhu and Conan. Thankfully political correctness of the late 20th and early 21st century are purging large numbers of leftists from the field. Each author deserves their own article of course, but suffice it to say that ethnic American literature begins with Hawthorne and Poe, and runs fruitfully through the veins of Lovecraft and Howard. Their emphasis on paganism and anti-christianity have marked these writers as world-forming, unlike the European writers of the 20th century who were mainly atheists dealing with standard novels of plot and character development. 
  There are many, many, many more authors and themes to be explored in this rich vein of fantastic literature; in fact much richer than the mundane fiction of Melville, Faulkner or Hemingway. One great advantage of science fiction writing is that it sidestepped the worst of excremental (post)modernism; James Joyce et al are for me, even when White, the most easily avoidable writers ever assembled.  The downfall of science fiction is the 21st century disappearance into the grey, lifeless world of diversity and equality. A perfect example would be Jeff Vandermeer's vaunted Southern Reach trilogy.  It was well-written, but fundamentally flawed by an unimaginative, cookie cutter diversity forced upon the characters. Almost any writer published from 1990 to current day is highly suspicious both in terms of writing ability and political background, as only the most liberal of whites have access to college education and major publishing contracts. Even the current authors published "on the right", are generally anti-racist/anti-white christians, rather than anti-racist/anti-white leftists. 

   To Sum:
- John W. Campbell, Astounding SF editor, usually good. Known for being a racist.
- Robert Heinlein - groundbreaking SF author, usually good. Known for fascist tendencies.
- Poul Anderson - Nordic language scholar, specific Scandinavian references abound in both SF and Fantasy.
- John Christopher - Wrote all kinds of books, but his Post-Apocalypse novels are absolutely the best, his kids' fiction such as the Tripods series, also the best.
- Dan Simmons - Literary and exciting. Highly recommended, some light multi-culturalism. "Conservative", yet intelligent.
- H.P. Lovecraft and Robert E. Howard - It's not coincidence that two of the most influential writers of the 20th century were devout racialists.  Conan and Cthulhu.
 - Gordon Dickson needs further study (I've only read one book, and enjoyed it somewhat). Also Philip K. Dick, Gene Wolfe, Ray Bradbury, Neal Stephenson, J.G. Ballard and Brian Aldiss are excellent authors with many books to read and study, but not much explicit racialism to speak of. They are the kind of authors that get taught in colleges, get denounced as evil white men, and then get defended on the basis of their individual anti-racist credentials, rather than defended on the basis of the invalidity of anti-whiteness generally.
