James P. Hogan

    James Patrick Hogan was een Britse sciencefictionauteur die bekend stond om zijn 'harde' benadering van het genre. Zijn werken verkennen vaak het conflict tussen wetenschappelijk onderzoek en maatschappelijke conventies, waarbij hij benadrukt dat theorieën gebaseerd moeten zijn op empirisch bewijs, en niet andersom. Hogans verhalen, zoals de "Giants"-serie, onderstrepen het belang van aanpassing aan feiten, zelfs als dit betekent dat gevestigde ideeën moeten worden verworpen. Naast wetenschappelijke speculatie vertoont zijn schrijfstijl regelmatig anti-autoritaire en libertaire thema's, wat suggereert dat technologische vooruitgang verouderde sociale structuren kan uitdagen en tot meer vrijheid kan leiden.
