Brian W. Aldiss is Britain's leading science fiction writer. He has won many of

the prizes in the field, including the Hugo, the Nebula, and the BSFA Award. The

Australians voted him 'World's Best Contemporary Writer of SF', and his novels

and stories have been translated into many languages. His science fiction novels

include Non-Stop (1958), Hothouse (1962), and recently more controversial novels

such as The Dark Light Years (1964), Report on Probability A (1967), and Barefoot

in the Head (1969). He has also proved himself a master of the short story, in

such collections as The Moment of Eclipse (1970). His recently published history

of science fiction Billion Year Spree has been widely acknowledged as a major

contribution to the genre.
