About the Internet Review of Science Fiction
The Internet Review of Science Fiction started in 2004 with the goal of creating a forum for the serious exploration of the literature of the fantastic. IRoSF publishes intelligent articles, essays, interviews, reviews, and criticism to illuminate the most interesting and important work in the genres of science fiction and fantasy.
Along the way we have also added elements that explore the history and culture of the genre, including convention reports, obituaries, and bibliographies.
Many people ask how do you pronounce "IRoSF"? Well, we pronounce it: "Eye-Row-Es-Ef." However, there may also be more than one way to expand the acronym: we also like, "The International Review of Science Fiction" because there is one thing the Internet does brilliantly and that is cross traditional barriers. We are particularly interested in material that brings to light worthy works outside the British/American genre.
Yet another expansion might be: "The Internet Review of Speculative Fiction." Speculative Fiction tends to sound pretentious, and yet, we're interested in more than just rockets and physicists. We really are interested in the full realm of material that can be called 'speculative.'
The current site design was introduced in the Summer of 2007.
