About the author

Very little biographical information about Con Blomberg is easy to confirm online, but the available records do show a science fiction writer associated with the magazine era of the 1950s. Publisher and library listings connect the name with Sales Talk, and public-domain editions trace that story to Galaxy Science Fiction in December 1959.

Another confirmed story, Make Me an Offer, appeared in Galaxy Science Fiction in August 1957 and has also been preserved through Project Gutenberg. Those stories suggest a writer drawn to speculative premises with satirical edges, especially around technology, society, and the way ordinary people react to systems larger than themselves.

Because reliable personal background details are scarce, it is safest to remember Con Blomberg through the fiction itself: compact, idea-driven science fiction from the classic magazine period, still being rediscovered by modern readers through reprints, ebook collections, and volunteer archives.
