| Sir Julius Vogel was a Prime Minister of New Zealand, and wrote
in 1889 what was probably the first full length Science Fiction novel by a New Zealander, Anno
Domini 2000 - A Woman's Destiny. This book was strongly centred around New Zealand, and
was a utopian view of the future in which women would hold many positions of authority.
"Predictions" which have come true...
At OdysseyCon in 2001, the proposal was made to have the fan awards called the Sir Julius
Vogel Awards. The vote by the fans was near unanimous in favour of the name. |
