John Brunner

John Brunner è stato un autore britannico molto stimato, noto principalmente per i suoi romanzi di fantascienza, thriller e fantasy. Ha scritto diversi romanzi di successo del genere science fiction/fantasy, nonché diversi racconti di spionaggio, raccolte di racconti, poesie, opere non di genere, pornografia e lavori di traduzione. Brunner è nato come John Kilian Houston Brunner il 24 settembre 1934 a Preston Crowmarch, Wallingford Oxfordshire, Regno Unito. Ha frequentato la St. Andrew's Prep School di Pangbourne e ha completato gli studi universitari al Cheltenham College.

Brunner ha iniziato la sua carriera di scrittore pubblicando il suo primo romanzo, "Galactic Storm", all'età di 17 anni con lo pseudonimo Gill Hunt. Ha iniziato a scrivere a tempo pieno solo nel 1958. All'inizio della sua carriera di scrittore, Brunner ha scritto narrativa di fantascienza spaziale convenzionale pulp. Tuttavia, in seguito ha iniziato a sperimentare con la forma del romanzo, incorporando strutture e stili insoliti. Il suo romanzo del 1968 "Stand on Zanzibar" utilizza un'organizzazione frammentata ispirata al romanzo USA di John Dos Passos e aggiornato in termini di teoria dei media di Marshall McLuhan. Allo stesso modo, "The Jagged Orbit" (1969) è ambientato in un'America dominata dalla proliferazione delle armi e dalla violenza interrazziale, con 100 capitoli numerati che variano in lunghezza da una sillaba a diverse pagine. "The Sheep Look Up" (1972) descrive il disastro ecologico in America. A Brunner è attribuita anche la paternità del termine "worm" e la previsione dell'emergere dei virus informatici nel suo romanzo del 1975 "The Shockwave Rider". Insieme a "Stand on Zanzibar", questi romanzi sono stati chiamati il "Quartetto del Club di Roma", prendendo il nome dal Club di Roma, il cui rapporto del 1972 The Limits to Growth ha avvertito degli effetti dannosi dell'iperpopolazione. Gli pseudonimi di Brunner includono K. H. Brunner, Gill Hunt, John Loxmith, Trevor Staines, Ellis Quick, Henry Crosstrees Jr. e Keith Woodcott.
