Customer Reviews
Average Rating: Rating: - Great Idea, Inadequately Executed The idea behind Analog appears to be to create a blend of Asimov's (science fiction and fantasy novellas, novelettes, short stories, and poems, plus book reviews and editorials) and Scientific American (hard science nonfiction articles). Analog achieves this goal, but has three flaws: the fiction is not as good as Asimov's, the editing (as in basic error-catching related to grammar and spelling) is below the level of Asimov's or Scientific American, and they often/usually miss the opportunity to pair up a nonfiction article with a conceptually related piece of fiction. I periodically try Analog, but keep ending up with a sense of mild dissatisfaction. Rating: - Reminiscence I haven't actually read Analog for about 20 years, but it was my introduction to science fiction very nearly 40 years ago, when I shared a flat (sorry, must use American, an appartment) in New York with one of John W. Campbell's editorial assitants! Since then, the genre has provided education, solace, amusement - and some disdain from others - and I despair at how few really good new English SF writers there seem to be. However, anyone (and I do mean anyone) who tries Analog with an open mind will find it a revelation. Rating: - Real science fiction -- and great nonfiction! Disclaimer up front: I've had three novels serialized in ANALOG (Nebula winner THE TERMINAL EXPERIMENT; Hugo and Nebula nominee STARPLEX; and the just-completed HOMINIDS). But I'm also a long-time reader of the magazine (28 years now), and I love it. The fiction is real SF -- stories in which the science is accurate and the speculation credible. But I also love the editorials by Stanley Schmidt; the "Alternate View" columns by Jeff Kooistra and John Cramer (some of the best science writing available anywhere these days), the spirited letters-to-the-editors section, and Tom Easton's book reviews. This is the number-one bestselling science-fiction magazine in the world, and justly so.
