Future Life, known as Future in its first year, was a science and science fiction magazine published from 1978 to 1981 by O'Quinn Studios.[1] In the first year of its existence, the magazine was called "Future", then the name was expanded to "Future Life".[2] Contributors included Harlan Ellison, Ed Naha, Boris Vallejo, and many others. It covered futuristic topics - largely space travel - as well as current scientific events of the time, and featured reviews of science fiction movies, books and comics, as well as interviews with Arthur C. Clarke, Anne McCaffrey, Ray Bradbury and many other scientists, artists and authors.[2] The magazine was based in New York City.[1]
The 6th issue of the magazine (1978) is known for being one of the first places in which the concept of "longevity escape velocity" was publicly announced.[3]
