About the author
Ed M. Clinton, Jr. (1926–2006) was an American science-fiction writer whose stories appeared in mid-century speculative-fiction magazines, including Worlds of If. His fiction often blended space-age adventure with political intrigue and gentle satire.
Among his known works are Security Risk, a story about an interplanetary arms crisis; The Small World of M-75; and Untechnological Employment, a comic tale built around a troubled spaceport, political pressure, and an unexpectedly unconventional solution. Clinton was also active in science-fiction fandom and fanzine circles during the 1950s and 1960s.
Although little biographical information about him is readily available, his surviving stories offer a distinctive snapshot of the era’s fascination with rockets, space exploration, bureaucracy, and the possibilities—and absurdities—of technological progress.
