Aldiss passed away on August 18, his 92nd birthday, 18th August. He enjoyed a most illustrious career in the science fiction genre spanning over sixty years. He wrote over a hundred books and his career has brought him into contact with some of the greatest names in the arts including Tolkien, Lewis and Kubrick. He collaborated with Steven Spielberg on the adaption of his ‘Super Toys Last All Summer’ into the film AI Artificial Intelligence and he was still writing new tales until very recently. He was made a Grand Master of the Science Fiction Writers of America in 2000, and received a World Fantasy Special Award at the World Fantasy Convention in Brighton in 2013.
