I wish they didn't misspel his name

Frederik Pohl died yesterday. I know this is unavoidable but it still feels so sad. All the golden era writers go away one by one. I'm just old enough (and started reading sf back when we only had few authors published in Poland so it was usually the most acclaimed ones) to have been raised on their books. Clarke, Harrison, Pohl.

He wrote his last book with Arthur C. Clarke in 2008. He maintained a blog - The Way The Future Blogs till the end and he died 93. He won a Hugo as a Fan Writer for it in 2010. I hope I will be as current with the tech at his age. He never stopped being connected to the future.

I leave you with Neil Gaiman's tribute.
