Data nașterii 18 august 1925 - East Dereham, Norfolk, England
Brian Wilson Aldiss, scriitor britanic, antologist si critic, si-a publicat prima carte, "The Brightfount Diaries", in 1955.
In acelasi an a castigat primul premiu literar pentru nuvela "Not For an Age".
Cel mai popular scriitor SF din Marea Britanie al sfarsitului secolului 20, este faimos pentru stilul lui, imagistica, surealism si o atitudine degajata fata de sex mai degraba decat pentru utilizarea stiintei. Primul roman "Non-Stop" (1958), este considerat un clasic al SF-ului.
Aldiss a fost recunoscut in anii 60 ca unul dintre autorii SF ai “noului val”.
