Albert Teichner

Albert R. Teichner was a science and speculative fiction writer whose work appeared in the 1960s and 1970s. His novels include Cerebrum, The Junkmakers, Man Made, and Sweet Their Blood and Sticky, and his shorter fiction was published in magazines such as If.

Beyond writing fiction, he also worked as an editor and publisher. An obituary in the Asbury Park Press described him as an author, editor, and publisher for Doubleday in New York for more than 20 years, suggesting a career that spanned both creating books and helping bring them into print.

That mix of writerly imagination and publishing experience gives his work an interesting place in paperback-era science fiction: concept-driven, readable, and closely connected to the world of commercial publishing in the decades when genre fiction was booming.
