Neil. R. Jones

    Neil Ronald Jones byl americký autor, který se zapsal do historie science fiction jako průkopník. Jeho díla předznamenala koncepty jako kybernetičtí lidé a robotické postavy, a inspirovala moderní myšlenku kryoniky. Jonesův styl spočíval v budování rozsáhlých "budoucích historií", kde zkoumal dlouhodobé důsledky technologického pokroku a lidské nesmrtelnosti. Jeho postava profesora Jamesona, posledního pozemšťana, který se stal nesmrtelným díky technologii strojových bytostí, se stala ikonickou pro své zkoumání identity a existence v neznámých vesmírech.
