Mesaerion

Groundbreaking discoveries in early 19th-century science fiction are unveiled through extensive research into forgotten journals and magazines. The book highlights potentially the first science fiction story by a woman, alongside the earliest steampunk tale, and a remarkable voyage to the moon featuring a darkness machine and a character named Zuloc. Additional stories include the first robotic insect and an electricity gun. These remarkable works, some unpublished for nearly two centuries, showcase the genre's fascinating evolution.
