About the author
Clifford Donald Simak (August 3, 1904–April 25, 1988) was an American science fiction writer and journalist from Millville, Wisconsin. He spent much of his working life in the newspaper business, including many years with the Minneapolis Star and Minneapolis Tribune, while building a long literary career that began with the 1931 story “The World of the Red Sun.”
Simak became known for humane, reflective science fiction often set against rural landscapes, especially the Wisconsin countryside. His best-known books include City, a linked series of stories about humanity’s future, and Way Station, which won the 1964 Hugo Award for Best Novel. He received three Hugo Awards and one Nebula Award, and was named an SFWA Grand Master in 1977.
