Gene L. Henderson was an American science fiction author. Reliable catalog sources are sparse, but LibriVox identifies him as active by 1964, and public-domain records show several of his stories first appeared in the early 1950s.
His known fiction includes All In The Mind, Survival of the Fittest, and The Small Bears. Those stories point to the kind of ideas he liked to explore: consciousness and identity, artificial intelligence and autonomy, and the risks of meeting the unknown in space.
Even though little biographical detail is easy to confirm, Henderson's work has remained visible through Project Gutenberg and LibriVox, where modern readers and listeners can still discover his classic pulp-era science fiction.
