It is indeed fitting that such an honor should be named for Gernsback, the Luxembour-gian-American inventor who began publishing the first English-language magazine dedicated to what was then not quite yet called 'science fiction,'
'Amazing Stories' provided an 'exclusive outlet' for what Gernsback first called 'scientific-tion,' a genre he would 'define for the modern era.'
The back catalog of 'Amazing Stories' includes legendary writers such as Le Guin, Asimov, Wells, Dick, and Ballard, despite its slow initial development and dominance by preprinted material.
