It is hard to find information about humor in science fiction on the web. Things are scattered around on many different pages and not linked well. We hope to make a web page with a good selection of links. We also want to have information on as many book as we can in the genre. Hopefully we can separate the good humor from the cheesy parodies. There are many different kinds of humor in science fiction, from outright jokes to satire that makes us smirk. It also has a long history dating back at least to Mark Twain. We hope to make a short overview of the history of the different kinds.
