Cordwainer Smith is a highly regarded science fiction author known for his imaginative world-building, poetic language, and complex storytelling. His stories are often set in far-off and exotic locations, filled with richly detailed landscapes and environments. His prose is both evocative and poetic, creating a rich and textured tapestry of language that is both beautiful and thought-provoking. Smith's narratives are often non-linear and fragmented, with multiple plot threads weaving together in unexpected ways. He was unafraid to explore controversial or challenging themes, such as power, politics, and the nature of humanity. Smith's innovative approach to science fiction has had a lasting impact on the genre, and his influence can be seen in many later works that tackle similar themes and ideas. His technical skill as a writer, combined with his willingness to push boundaries and challenge readers, make him a true master of the craft and many high-profile writers who followed him have cited his works as a major influence on them. Cordwainer Smith (whose real name was Paul Linebarger) died in Baltimore, Maryland. See less
