Alfred Elton van Vogt (/væn voʊt/ VAN VOHT; April 26, 1912 – January 26, 2000) was a Canadian-born American science fiction writer. His fragmented, bizarre narrative style influenced later science fiction writers, notably Philip K. Dick. He was one of the most popular and influential practitioners of science fiction in the mid-twentieth century, the genre's so-called Golden Age, and one of the most complex.[1] The Science Fiction Writers of America named him their 14th Grand Master in 1995 (presented 1996).[2]
