"The Day came, once, when the first science fiction novel was written and published. To be sure, stories had been written, centuries before, that, in hindsight, 'seemed' to be science fiction. We might even consider Homer's tales of one-eyed giants, and of witches, to have been science fiction of a sort. Those early tales, however, had nothing to do with societies changed by technological advance, and it is that which is the hallmark of true science fiction. Even stories about flights to the Moon, some of which were written eighteen centuries ago, made no use of scientific advance. People reached the Moon by mens of waterspouts, or spirits, or birds, all of which were established parts of the world the writers knew. In 1657, Cyrano de Bergerac had suggested rockets as a way of reaching the Moon, but his hero didn't use them. ...Mary Shelley was the first to make use of a new finding of science which she advanced further to a logical extreme and it is that which makes FRANKENSTEIN the first true science fiction novel."
