Brian Aldiss was born today in 1925. Let's take a look back at some of his books... #tuesdaymood Image
Report On Probability A, by Brian Aldiss. Lancer Books, 1970. Cover by Harry Steele Savage.

This is a very challenging read, but stick with it... Image
Hothouse, by Brian Aldiss. Four Square, 1964. Cover artist uncredited, but what a cover! Image
Earthworks, by Brian Aldiss. Four Square, 1967. Cover by Karel Thole. A fine dystopian novel! Image
Hell’s Cartographers, edited by Brian Aldiss and Harry Harrison. Orbit Books, 1976.

Aldiss and Harrison had a long standing friendship and any anthology they edit is well worth reading. Image
Barefoot In The Head, by Brian Aldiss. Ace Books, 1972. Cover by Leo and Diane Dillon. Still one of my favourite psychedelic novels! Image
Bow Down To Null (aka The Interpreter) by Brian Aldiss. Ace Doubles, 1960. Cover by Ed Emshwiller.

Don't let the cover put you off, this is a good one... Image
The Dark Light Years by Brian Aldiss. New English Library 1975. Cover artist Bruce Pennington. A powerful, satirical and fun first contact novel. Image
The Airs Of Earth, by Brian Aldiss. New English Library, 1975. Cover by Bruce Pennington.

A great short story collection: new Aldiss readers start here... Image

Ray Bradbury was born today in 1920. He was the author of what I think was one of the most prescient books of the 20th Century. And it started as a short story written on a hired typewriter!

This is the story Fahrenheit 451...
Ray Bradbury started writing stories at the age of 11. Influenced by H.G. Wells and Jules Verne he strongly identified with Verne's belief that "in a very strange world... we can triumph by behaving morally."
Bradbury honed his writing skills in the world of pulp magazines. His first story, "Hollerbochen's Dilemma," was published in 1938 when he was 18. A year later he published his own sci-fi magazine, Futuria Fantasia.

Today in pulp I'm looking back at some slightly neglected '80s hi-tech action heroes. These people aren't Knight Rider or Airwolf: they're the other guys!

Let's start with Automan...
Launched in 1983 Automan was Glen A. Larson's attempt to cash in on both the computer games craze and Disney's stylish movie Tron. Neither of which were in good shape by 1983. Image
Automan starred Desi Arnaz, Jr. as a police computer whizz who created a holographic detective (played by Chuck Wagner) who sadly could only fight crime at night, due to the huge amounts of electricity needed to make him appear. Image
