Science fiction literature was established in Norway in the mid-1960s, mainly by Jon Bing and Tor Åge Bringsværd.
They dominated the genre, started a society for science fiction fans, and reached relatively high public interest until the late 1970s.
[1] Johannes H. Berg Jr. is a noteworthy contributor to Norwegian science fiction literature from the 1970s until his death in 2004.
Also, Henrik Wergeland wrote at least one play that can be considered science-fiction-esque: De sidste kloge ("The Last of the Wise"), set on the planet Terra Nova.
The 21st century has seen a new wave of science fiction in Norway, ranging from Øyvind Rimbereid's epic poem Solaris korrigert to Sigbjørn Skåden's Sámi science fiction story Fugl, about humans who colonise a distant planet, but in doing so, lose their language.
