Page "New Wave science fiction" Paragraph 49

Some have seen the emergence of cyberpunk literature as a sequel of sorts to the aims of the New Wave movement.

Cyberpunk incorporated several of New Wave's " ancestors ," namely Burroughs and Alfred Bester and partially embraced New Wave proponents Harlan Ellison and Samuel R. Delany.

The New Weird movement and the genre of slipstream fiction occupies a space similar to that of the New Wave movement, in relationship to the mainstream of science fiction and fantasy.

However, they have a far less adversial relationship to their " parent " genres.
