Murray Leinster
1896–1975
A pioneering voice of early science fiction, Murray Leinster imagined parallel worlds, alien encounters, and networked computers long before they became familiar ideas. His inventive stories combined bold concepts with the fast-moving energy of classic pulp adventure.

About the author
Murray Leinster was the pen name of William Fitzgerald Jenkins (June 16, 1896–June 8, 1975), an American writer best known for science fiction, though he also wrote fantasy, mystery, horror, Westerns, and adventure fiction. Over his long career, he published more than 1,500 short stories and articles.
Leinster’s influential stories include “Sidewise in Time,” “First Contact,” and “A Logic Named Joe.” His work explored parallel universes, communication between humans and aliens, and computer-like networks with striking imagination. The Sidewise Award for Alternate History takes its name from “Sidewise in Time.”
Beyond writing, Jenkins worked as an inventor and was associated with a front-projection process used in special effects. His career helped connect the early pulp era of science fiction with the genre’s more modern, idea-driven tradition.
