Then, Now, Tomorrow: Science Fiction at the Libraries

In 1956, Wayne University became Wayne State University. What did the average American of the 1950s imagine about the world of tomorrow? Space colonies? Invaders from another planet? A dystopian future?

In celebration of Wayne State University's sesquicentennial, the Wayne State University Library System presents Then, Now Tomorrow: Science Fiction at the Libraries, an online exhibition of science fiction and rocket science books from the Libraries' collections.
