the relativity of The Big Three in classic Science-Fiction.[edit]
It was canonic knowledge to me as a youth that there were three central figures in classic Science-Fiction, and that these three were Isaac Asimov, Arthur C. Clarke and Ray Bradbury. Only some days ago I have been challenged by articles in Wikipedia (in english, german and french) that claim The Big Three in SF were (and had always been) Isaac Asimov, Arthur C. Clarke and Robert A. Heinlein. Taking this for a revisionist approach, I quickly got into fair trouble when having to prove my point of view to some quite offensed wikipedians ... and was unable to. Anybody here with concrete arguments in favour of Bradbury? 2001:7E8:C29C:2400:99E8:1290:C28A:DD1B (talk) 19:04, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I’ve never heard anyone include Bradbury in the “Big Three,” just Heinlein, Asimov and Clarke.Sir Rhosis (talk) 19:59, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I never heard of Bradbury being among the Big Three of SF either. His unique writing often veered towards that gray area between science fiction and fantasy, so its hard to see him being identified as an exemplar of "classic science fiction". Saratoga Sam (talk) 16:54, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The WaPo (and others) use the formula "ABC" (Asimov, Bradbury, Clarke) as an alternative to the "Big Three." (Why do we need a "three" ... is this just marketing?) -- Jaireeodell (talk) 17:13, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
