Harlan Ellison is a legendary author and a pioneer in the field of science fiction. “I started out at a time when there was a lot of hope in the world,” he said. “And I wrote what I thought would be positive messages.” For him, writing was a way to express his thoughts and feelings about the world. He took risks with his ideas and explored new genres, all of which helped shape him into one of America’s greatest writers. And now, at the age of eighty-five, he is still writing.
