John Brunner

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

John Kilian Houston Brunner (* 24. September 1934 in Preston Crowmarsh, Oxfordshire ; † 25. August 1995 in Glasgow ) was a British science fiction - author .

His first novels are classified as conventional space opera , but he soon began to develop his own novel style. His novel Morgenwelt ( Stand on Zanzibar ), published in 1968, won the Hugo Award for best science fiction novel in 1969 and is now considered one of the classics of the genre, as do sheep look up ( The Sheep Look Up, 1972 ). With his novel " Der Schockwellenreiter " ( The Shockwave Rider ; 1975) he is considered to be the creator of the concept of the computer worm .

John Brunner is often attributed to the cyberpunk authors, although he published the majority of his work before the cyberpunk phase in the 1980s.

His pseudonyms were KH Brunner, Gill Hunt, John Loxmith, Trevor Staines and Keith Woodcott.

Life

Brunner was often sick in his childhood. During the forced bed rest, he discovered reading as a pastime and devoured Jules Verne , HG Wells, and the Pulps . After graduating from school, he studied Modern Languages ​​at Cheltenham College and left it in 1951 without taking up the Oxford scholarship that was offered to him . He had decided to become a writer instead. He wrote his first novel, Galactic Storm , when he was 17 and was actually able to publish it under the publishing pseudonym Gill Hunt. Brunner invested the fee in his first typewriter. His first SF story Thou Good and Faithful was published in 1953 in John W. Campbell's magazine Astounding , and in the same year his first novel, The Wanton of Argos , was published in the USA (the text was later expanded to The Space-Time Juggler ).

From 1953 to 1955 Brunner did his conscription in the RAF , which he described as the most useless time of his life and led to a deep-seated and consistent aversion to the military. After retiring from the army, he moved to London to live as a freelance writer. Although he wrote a lot, the poor pay meant that he had to take odd jobs to make ends meet. On July 12, 1958, he married Marjorie Rosamond Sauer, who was twenty years older than him, and from the age of 24 he concentrated on full-time writing, because from then on his wife took care of all business matters. They now had a livelihood, even if that meant that Brunner had to produce 27 novels in around seven years, which were published by Ace Books (some under a pseudonym).

Brunner and his wife were involved in the British Easter march movement . In 1959 they organized an exhibition on nuclear disarmament , which was also shown in the Federal Republic of Germany . Brunner wrote the lyrics for the protest song The H-Bomb Thunder . In 1972 he participated as an official observer at the World Peace Conference in Moscow . In August 1970 Brunner was Toastmaster of the 28th World Science Fiction Convention in Heidelberg .

In the mid-1960s, the author began to experiment. In 1965 he published the novel The Squares of the City , which was designed based on a game of chess, and in 1968 the masterpiece Stand on Zanzibar (English: Morning World ), which won all the important prizes, including the Hugo Award , and was one of the milestones of the SF applies. The techniques of literary collage used here can also be found in other works of this phase, for example in The Sheep Look up (1972, German sheep look up ). In parallel to this and other examples of sophisticated, artistically high-quality SF literature ( The Jagged Orbit , 1969; Eng. Ein Irrer Orbit or The Gottschalk plot and The Shockwave Rider , 1975), he ceaselessly continued to write undemanding mass-produced goods to make money. He himself said: "I live in a system that forces me to earn my living through my work. I bake rolls, so to speak, and I bake cakes. I live on the rolls." Even fantasy and crime novels can be found among his books.

Brunner's health deteriorated rapidly in the 1980s, and he had massive problems with extreme high blood pressure. The number of his publications fell and he now tried historical novels like The Great Steamboat Race . Business also went downhill, especially after the death of his wife in 1986 when he suddenly found himself without a regular income. Five years later, on September 27, 1991, he married his second wife, Chinese immigrant Li Yi Tan, and finally died of a stroke in Glasgow in 1995 while attending the World Science Fiction Convention .
