Frederik Pohl, who was dubbed as the “grandmaster of science fiction” has passed away aged 93.
The prolific writer was seen to be the man who shaped science fiction writing over the years and is perhaps best known for his 1977 epic novel Gateway, which won him the Hugo Award.
His granddaughter and fellow author paid her respects to the acclaimed writer as she announced the news of his death on Twitter:
Pohl was described by novelist Kingsley Amis as "the most consistently able writer science fiction, in its modern form, has yet produced".
Many of Pohl's works have been adapted for radio, television and film with the BBC even televising some of his short stories.
He famously once said; “You can’t really predict the future. All you can do is invent it.”
May he rest in peace.
