Uber User Posts: 263 Location: Gunnison, Colorado | L. Ron Hubbard and Van Vogt were two of the most popular writers in the Astounding "stable" during the '40s golden age of that magazine. John W. Campbell also caught the Dianetics bug, and promoted it in the magazine. His fixation on scientology probably alienated some of the other writers, and has been suggested as one of the reasons for Astounding's decline in the '50s. It also corresponds with a decline in the writing of Van Vogt and Hubbard, but in this case, religion pays better than the pulps... Scientology is one of the more interesting offshoots of science fiction... | ||
