World War II had a profound impact and influence on culture, especially science fiction. The devastating detonation of atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, a weapon developed by science fiction reading scientists, added an apocalyptic edge to the genre. After the war, American writers dominated, with authors Arthur C Clarke and Ray Bradbury taking fantastical fiction to brave new worlds.
