Anatomy of Wonder — A Critical Guide to Science Fiction is a reference book by Neil Barron.[1]
Anatomy of Wonder is a book which covers hundreds of works of science fiction.[2]
Dave Langford reviewed Anatomy of Wonder for White Dwarf #39, and stated that "The book records hundreds of 'major' SF works from antiquity to 1980, with useful plot summaries [...] and idiosyncratic recommendations for building up a collection of fine SF. A unique reference book, shortlisted for the 1982 Hugo Award, non-fiction category."[2]
The book was nominated for the Hugo Award for Best Related Work for 1982, but lost to Danse Macabre.[3]
