關於作者

E. E. "Doc" Smith, born Edward Elmer Smith on May 2, 1890, in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, is often hailed as the "father of space opera," a subgenre of science fiction characterized by grand, interstellar adventures and epic battles. Smith's background in chemical engineering and his work in the food industry, particularly in the development of doughnut mixes, might seem an unlikely prelude to a career in science fiction, yet it was his scientific rigor and imaginative prowess that set his work apart.Smith's literary career took off with the publication of "The Skylark of Space" in 1928, co-written with Lee Hawkins Garby. This novel, along with his subsequent "Lensman" series, established him as a pioneering figure in the genre, influencing later giants like Isaac Asimov and Arthur C. Clarke. Smith's narratives were groundbreaking in their scope, featuring advanced technologies, complex galactic civilizations, and morally nuanced characters.Controversially, Smith's works have been critiqued for their portrayal of gender and race, reflecting the less progressive attitudes of his time. However, his visionary ideas about space travel, artificial intelligence, and the ethical dimensions of power continue to resonate with contemporary audiences.Smith's influence extends beyond literature; his imaginative concepts have permeated popular culture, inspiring everything from comic books to blockbuster films. His legacy endures as a testament to the power of speculative fiction to expand the horizons of human thought and creativity.
