    What makes it more confusing is that he also wrote Science Fiction.

  I knew him as an author of “Ypsilon Minus” (sci-fi anti utopia.) Easy reading, liked it a lot when I was kid. Sad to see him go.

  Sounds like quite the polymath. I had never heard of him, until now. It seems the world is a slightly darker place, now. Thanks for letting us know about him.
