Anatomy of Wonder
Anatomy of Wonder — A Critical Guide to Science Fiction is a reference book by Neil Barron,[1] which covers hundreds of works of science fiction.[2]
The review of Anatomy of Wonder by Dave Langford says that it is a unique reference book that lists hundreds of major SF works from antiquity to 1980, with plot summaries and recommendations for building up a collection of SF.[2]
The book was nominated for the Hugo Award for Best Related Work for 1982, but lost to Danse Macabre.[3]
