ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Alfred Bester began writing science fiction stories for Thrilling Wonder Stories in the 1930s. Twenty years later, his novels The Demolished Man and The Stars My Destination were hailed as vital new contributions to the field, and have since become classics. From his start in science fiction, Bester got into scripting comics, and then radio series like “Nick Carter,” “Charlie Chan,” and “The Shadow.” He became a successful TV scriptwriter, then spent some years in Europe; on his return to the U.S. he was offered a column in holiday magazine, for which he rode on the maiden flight of the first Boeing 747, interviewed luminaries like Sophia Loren and Sir Laurence Olivier, and finally became a senior editor of the magazine.

As one friend put it, “Alfie Bester lives as though the whole world was made for his entertainment.” Bester currently divides his time between a farm in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, and New York City.
