Garrett Putman Serviss

    24. březen 1851 – 25. květen 1929

    Garrett Putman Serviss byl americký astronom a raný autor science fiction, který mistrně propojoval vědecké poznatky s poutavým vyprávěním. Svou kariéru začal jako novinář, kde si osvojil schopnost vysvětlovat složité vědecké koncepty srozumitelně pro širokou veřejnost. Tato dovednost ho proslavila jako přednášejícího a popularizátora vědy, přičemž se zaměřoval na astronomii a vesmír. Jeho literární odkaz zahrnuje jak populárně naučná díla o vesmíru, tak fiktivní příběhy, které dnes řadíme do žánru science fiction, čímž obohatil jak vědeckou, tak beletristickou krajinu své doby.
