Sorry, I'm not well - acquainted with Mark Vittorini's science fiction works. It could be that he is a relatively niche or emerging author in the field. You could try searching on science fiction fan forums, where enthusiasts might be more likely to know about his works.
Mark Vittorini may not be a widely known science fiction author to the general public. However, if you are determined to find his works, start by looking at small - press publishers that focus on science fiction. They might have published his works. Also, reaching out to independent bookstores with a good science fiction section and asking the staff there could be a good approach.
Since I'm not familiar with his works precisely, it's hard to say. But generally, science fiction often has elements like futuristic settings, advanced technology, and exploration of human nature in new contexts.
I don't have information on Mark Huffman's science - fiction works. Maybe he's not widely known yet, or I just haven't come across his works.
One of Mark Bould's notable works in science fiction might be 'XXXXX' (if there is a well - known one). I'm not extremely familiar with all his works, but he may have contributions in exploring themes like future societies, technological impacts etc.
The most notable one is 'A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court'.
I'm sorry I can't give you a definite list of science fiction works mentioned by Mark Kermode. But if we think about popular and influential science fiction, works like 'The Matrix' are likely candidates. This movie had a huge impact on the genre with its unique take on reality and technology. It's possible that Mark Kermode has discussed it in relation to science fiction. Another one could be 'Star Wars', which has been a cultural phenomenon and has influenced countless other science fiction works. These are just speculations though, and to get the accurate information, one should refer to his own writings or statements.
Mark Twain's 'Extract from Captain Stormfield's Visit to Heaven' also has science - fiction - like elements. It presents a rather unorthodox view of heaven, with Stormfield's journey and his observations there. It shows Twain's creative take on the afterlife which is different from the traditional religious conceptions, in a somewhat science - fictional way of imagining the unknown realm.
There are a few works that are often regarded as marking the start of science fiction. 'Frankenstein' is the most prominent. It introduced the idea of a man - made creation through scientific means. Also, H.G. Wells' 'The Time Machine' is important. It played with the concept of time travel, which was a very novel scientific idea at the time. Wells used this concept to explore social and evolutionary ideas as well. These works were among the first to really take scientific concepts and use them as the basis for fictional stories, thus laying the foundation for the science fiction genre as we know it today.
I'm not sure who specifically 'Mark Huffman' is in the context of science fiction. There could be many people with this name, or it might be a relatively unknown figure in a particular niche of the science - fiction world.
Yes. In 'A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court', Twain blends historical and science - fictional elements. The idea of a modern - day person being thrust into a medieval setting and using his knowledge (which can be seen as advanced in that context) to change things is quite science - fictional. It shows his versatility as a writer.
