The Günther Web

 

Why?

The fact that we present some rarely known science fiction work from Günther was driven by Günther´s own view in which he looked at Cybernetics on one hand and on Science Fiction on the other hand as the two leading birth-points of a genuine American culture. To him science fiction literature is a spiritual breakthrough of the American frontier mentality.
