About the Author
THEODORE STURGEON (1918-1985) is one of the great figures of the golden age of science fiction. He wrote over 200 stories, several novels, film and TV scripts (including two of the most famous episodes of the original Star Trek), plays, and dozens of nonfiction reviews and essays. His many literary awards include the Hugo, the Nebula, and the International Fantasy Award. His most famous novel, More Than Human, won serious academic recognition as literature, a rarity among science-fiction works of the '50s.
