George O. Smith

    George Oliver Smith was een Amerikaanse sciencefictionauteur die gevierd werd om zijn verhalen over de buitenruimte. Zijn "Venus Equilateral"-serie, gericht op een communicatiestation dat afdrijft in de kosmos, geldt als zijn bekendste bijdrage. Naast hemelse taferelen verkende Smith ook het menselijk intellect met een opmerkelijke beschouwing van een wonderkind in een van zijn romans. Een belangrijke stem uit de Gouden Eeuw van SF, zijn werken worden gewaardeerd om hun verbeeldingskracht en hun gegronde wetenschappelijke concepten.
