About the author
Jerry Sohl, born Gerald Allan Sohl Sr. in Los Angeles on December 2, 1913, was an American science fiction author and television scriptwriter. Reliable biographical sources agree that he also worked as a journalist before building a long career in fiction and screenwriting.
He published science fiction novels and short stories from the 1950s onward, and later became especially known for writing for television. His credits are commonly associated with classic series including The Twilight Zone, Alfred Hitchcock Presents, The Outer Limits, and Star Trek: The Original Series, sometimes under the pseudonym Nathan Butler.
Sohl died on November 4, 2002, in Thousand Oaks, California. He remains a familiar name to readers of vintage science fiction and to viewers who enjoy the smart, eerie, idea-driven television of the mid-20th century.
