Modern Electrics [1914]
Modern Electrics covered all aspects of electricity, motors, power, wireless, controls, switches, lighting, and the thousands of other topics that made electricity the hottest area for technical enthusiasts of the early twentieth century. It was the first magazine published by Hugo Gernsback, and was also an early pioneer in futuristic and technical science fiction, with numberous fiction stories running as early as 1911. As such it paved the way for the huge genre SF and Fantasy industry we have today.
