New Wine in Old Bottles: SF in the German Democratic Republic

'''Simon, Earl. "New Wine in Old Bottles: SF in the German Democratic Republic."' Foundation'' #34 (Autumn 1985): 36-48.

See the sections on Angela and Karlheinz Steinmüller, esp. pages 41-46, for the Steinmüllers' use of cybernetic motifs and their classic SF "method of showing the world (or a part of it) transformed by a single innovation," which is often "a fantastic technology" (42).
