Estonian science fiction

Science fiction and fantasy in Estonia is largely a product of the current post-Soviet era. Although somewhat earlier authors, like Eiv Eloon and Tiit Tarlap [et], do exist.[1]

Eesti Ulmeühing is an organization for print science fiction in Estonia that awards annual Stalker prizes.[2] The awards are named after the Andrei Tarkovsky film Stalker that was largely shot in Estonia.

In film the works of Raul Tammet have been analyzed.[3]

In the 1980s notable were two novels by Eiv Eloon (real name Lea Soo; born 1945[4]): "Kaksikliik" ('Double Species'; 1981) and "Kaksikliik 2" ('Double Species 2'; 1988). These two novels were only works by Eloon.[5]
