Frederik Pohl was one of the generation of young science fiction writers who moved effortlessly from writing fanzines to writing for the pulp magazines. His most important work falls into two main segments. In the 1950s, he and his friend C M Kornbluth wrote four novels, and a number of short stories, which wittily exaggerated and satirized trends in contemporary American society; the suprisingly prophetic Gladiator-at-Law is eloquent about the degradation of housing projects into slums <a hre

Frederik George Pohl Jr. (/poʊl/; November 26, 1919 – September 2, 2013) was an American science-fiction writer, editor, and fan, with a career spanning nearly 75 years—from his first published work, the 1937 poem "Elegy to a Dead Satellite: Luna", to the 2011 novel All the Lives He Led.
From about 1959 until 1969, Pohl edited Galaxy and its sister magazine If; the latter won three successive annual Hugo Awards as the year's best professional magazine. His 1977 novel Gateway won four "year's best novel" awards: the Hugo voted by convention participants, the Locus voted by magazine subscribers, the Nebula voted by American science-fiction writers, and the juried academic John W. Campbell Memorial Award. He won the Campbell Memorial Award again for the 1984 collection of novellas The Years of the City, one of two repeat winners during the first 40 years. For his 1979 novel Jem, Pohl won a U.S. National Book Award in the one-year category Science Fiction, and it was a finalist for three other year's best novel awards. He won four Hugo and three Nebula Awards, including receiving both for the 1977 novel Gateway. He won the inaugural Locus Award for Best Non-fiction in 1979 for his autobiography The Way the Future Was.
