Robert Sheckley (1928 - 2005) was an American science-fiction writer whose utterly original work is noted for its merging of quick wit, philosophical musing and dark satire. His novel, Dimension of Miracles (1968), is often cited as an influence on Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. In 2001, he was made Author Emeritus by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America.
