- The Science Fiction Hall of Fame, Volume One, 1929–1964
"The Science Fiction Hall of Fame, Volume One, 1929-1964" is a 1970 anthology of science fiction short stories, edited by Robert Silverberg. It is generally considered one of the best, if not "the" best, of the many science fiction anthologies. Author Lester del Rey said that "it even lives up to its subtitle." It was first published by Doubleday and subsequently reprinted by Orb.
The content of the book was decided by a vote of the members of the Science Fiction Writers of America, choosing among short stories (up to 15,000 words long) that predated the Nebula Awards. The top 15 vote-getters were included; Silverberg then used his judgment, rather than the number of votes, in selecting most, but not all of the next 15 for a total of 26 stories. (Several authors had two stories in the top 30 vote-getters, but no author is represented twice in the collection.) "Nightfall" was chosen as the best short story, followed by "A Martian Odyssey" and "Flowers for Algernon".
In 1973, it was followed by "". Further volumes were published, consisting of early Nebula winners, thus straying outside the original "pre-Nebula" concept.
