Leonard Rubin
Known today mainly for the short science-fiction story Don't Look Now, this elusive writer left behind a brisk, idea-driven tale first published in Galaxy Magazine in 1960. Even with so little biographical detail confirmed, the work still stands out for its mix of futuristic invention, suspense, and ethical unease.

Don't Look Now

About the author
Very little verified biographical information about Leonard Rubin appears to be readily available online, which makes him one of those authors known more through a surviving story than through a well-documented public life.
What can be confirmed is that Rubin wrote Don't Look Now, a science-fiction story originally published in Galaxy Magazine in April 1960. The story has remained accessible through later reprints and public-domain editions, helping new readers discover his work.
Because reliable sources on his personal background are scarce, it is safest to remember Leonard Rubin as a mid-century science-fiction author whose known work reflects the genre's classic interest in technology, power, and unintended consequences.
