Any John Brunner experts out there?
Could anyone point me to a meaningful biography of the man who wrote Shockwave Rider and many others?
To define “meaningful” - I’d quite like it to include works like “The Web of Everywhere” (which wasn’t about the Web, since you wonder). Or if anyone happens to have some expert knowledge on Brunner, that’d be welcome too. Of course I’ll try his publisher, etc, but just in case..

The chap you want to talk to is Dave Langford, ansible@cix dot co dot uk - he either knows everything about UK SF authors or knows who does (John Clute, normally).
A friend of mine now lives in Brunner’s old house on the edge of Hampstead Heath. This information is unlikely to be useful.
Thanks for making the comments window bigger, which was exciting, and it would be a real churl who complained that between it getting bigger a couple of hours ago and me making this comment it shrank again…

Nah, it would just be someone pointing out that I hadn’t edited all the files associated with comments, which would be helpful rather than churlish.
