Early Hard SF: Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne

from Keep Writing · host James S. Aaron

I found Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne much more interesting than I expected. I talk about what I think science fiction writers can learn from this early "hard science fiction" and what probably doesn't work for modern readers.
