Breuer (1889-1945). Breuer is also the author of the novel “Paradise and Iron” (1930)\, one of the first modern science fiction tales to warn of the dangers of a technologically oriented civilization\, depicting a humanity threatened by what we today call artificial intelligence\, and the co-author of The Girl from Mars\, a thin 24 page work that became the first book in the world to be formally titled as science fiction. He also co-wrote two novels with Jack Williamson. At the turn of the 1920s and 30s\, Breuer’s readers viewed this author as a major star of the science fiction genre. Discovered by Hugo Gernsbeck\, Breuer contributed to “The Amazing Stories” and other pulp magazines.  He was born in Chicago to the Czech parents. Writing as “Miloslav” – the Czech version of his name – Breuer had published numerous stories also in Czech language (which were subsequently published in English in early science fiction magazines). \n\nLOCATION:\nConsulate General of the Czech Republic\n10990 Wilshire Blvd\, Suite 1100\nLos Angeles\, CA 90024 \nRSVP: \nDue to limited space an RSVP is mandatory and admission passes will be allocated based on the first RSVPs received.
