Requirements: ePUB reader, 4.6Mb
Overview: Neil Ronald Jones was born on May 29, 1909 in Fulton, New York, and worked as a New York State unemployment insurance claims investigator until his retirement in 1973.
Not prolific, and little remembered today, Jones was ground-breaking in science fiction. His first published story, “The Death’s Head Meteor” for the January 1930 issue of Air Wonder Stories, was the first use of the word “astronaut”. He also pioneered cyborg and robotic characters, and is credited with inspiring the modern idea of cryonics. Most of his stories fit into a “future history” like that of Robert A. Heinlein or Cordwainer Smith; long before either of them used this convention in their fiction.
Jones was a vigorous, straightforward writer whose style and concerns were typical of the first blossoming of sf at the end of the 1920s. He ceased writing in 1951, as the landscape of science fiction began to change. He would write three more Professor Jameson stories before his death in 1988.
