Here it begins. A project to catalog all the "nouns" of the SF literature. A really huge task and I'm sure I'll be sorry I started it, but somebody has to, so why not give it a try?
As the heading suggests, I'd like you to send to me the names of persons, places, things or ideas created or coined in the SF literature, along with the title of the work, its author, and what genre (book, comic, film, radio, television) the reference can be found in. Please include a definition or short description in plain English as well (as plain as possible anyway). As I get them, I will update the page, and we'll all see where it takes us.
Please send new entries or corrections to: jazz@qnet.com Be sure to put "Encyclopedia" in the subject, or I may not notice it. Thank you.
Harshaw, Jubal - a leading character in many books by Robert A. Heinlein. / Stranger in a Strange Land /
Smith, Valentine Michael - the protagonist in the book Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert A. Heinlein. A Man from Mars. Genetically human, but raised on Mars by Martians.
