{"product_id":"astounding-days","title":"Astounding Days","description":"Arthur C. Clarke acquired his first science fiction magazine - a copy of Astounding Stories - in 1930, when he was 13.  Immediately he became an avid reader and collector: and, soon enough, a would-be-writer.  The rest is history.  Now, in Astounding Days, he looks back over those impressed by him, discussing their scientific howlers, and their remarkable proportion of predictive bulls-eyes - and writing of his early life and career.  Written with relaxed good humour, Astounding Days is full of fascinating comment and anecdote.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57505015791989,"sku":"9781473201392","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/astounding-days","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
