ALFRED BESTER
THE
COMPUTER CONNECTION
Alfred Bester was born in New York in 1913. After attend-
ing the University of Pennsylvania, he sold several stories to
Thrilling Wonder Stories
in the early 1940s. He then
embarked on a career as a scripter for comics, radio, and
television, where he worked on such classic characters as
Superman, Batman, Nick Carter, Charlie Chan, Tom Corbett,
and the Shadow. In the 1950s, he returned to prose, pub-
lishing several short stories and two brilliant, seminal
works,
The Demolished Man
(which was the first winner of
the Hugo Award for Best Novel) and
The Stars My
Destination.
In the late 1950s, he wrote travel articles for
Holiday
magazine, and eventually became their Senior
Literary Editor, keeping the position until the magazine
folded in the 1970s. In 1974, he once again came back to
writing science fiction with the novels
The Computer
Connection, Golem100,
and
The Deceivers,
and numerous
short stories. A collection of his short stories,
Virtual
Unrealities,
was published in 1997, and his final novel,
Psychoshop—completed
after his death by celebrated author
Roger Zelazny—was published in 1998. After being a New
Yorker all his life, he died in Pennsylvania in 1987, but not
before he was honored by the Science Fiction & Fantasy
Writers of America with a Grandmaster Award.
