Just purchased Real Time by John Brockman and Edward Rosenfeld. An amazing book but not his first compendium.
No — Real Time: Talking About the Universe (1984), edited by John Brockman and Edward Rosenfeld, was not John Brockman’s first compendium.
Before Real Time, Brockman had already edited and published several anthologies and works that could be considered compendia, such as:
• About Time: Essays on Science and Philosophy (1973) — one of his earliest anthologies, also co-edited with Edward Rosenfeld.
• Afterwords: Explorations of the Future (1973) — another early Brockman/Rosenfeld collaboration, collecting essays on science, technology, and culture.
These earlier works established the style and themes Brockman would continue exploring — bringing together scientists, philosophers, and thinkers to discuss the frontiers of knowledge — long before Real Time.
