Description: The Yahoo" Internet Life -Science Fiction Star Map, Anon, December 1997 Here is a piece of Internet history, a map listing Science Fiction sites from December 1997! It is an amazing array of deep interests in Science Fiction, but look beyond the subjects to review the addresses. There not are many concise domains such as the the Babylon 5 fan page www.thestation.com (now a server switch page) It's not just the numerous geocities pages, but the rutgers.edu, stanford.edu and other .edu's, but also aol, mindspring and compuserve homepages. This is the early web when genuine grass roots interests drove content. Visuals such as this were so important in a world prior to good search engines. If you didn't know that a page existed, and knew its precise address, you weren't probably going to find it. That made these large subject maps valuable, not just decorative, but something that brought you new connections and content. This large poster was one of the classic folded "add-ins" that would have been tucked into the poly-bag that held the magazine it was issued with. These "add-ins" such as poster, small booklets, cd's, etc., were meant to add perceived value to a magazine at a time when there were numerous publications trying to make themselves look more distinctive. Would be a nice map to frame and serve as a remembrance of what the Internet used to be like. Condition is excellent, crisp and bright. Overall size is 25 x 37.25
