Theodore Sturgeon

Theodore Sturgeon, nacido como Edward Hamilton Waldo el 26 de febrero de 1918 en Staten Island, Nueva York, fue una figura destacada en el mundo de la ciencia ficción y la fantasía oscura. Más tarde adoptó el apellido de su padrastro y utilizó el nombre de Theodore, que usó durante toda su carrera de escritor.

Sturgeon es considerado uno de los padrinos de la ciencia ficción y la fantasía oscura contemporáneas, con una carrera de escritura que abarcó varias décadas. Es autor de numerosos relatos cortos y novelas destacadas, incluyendo las clásicas "More Than Human", "Venus Plus X" y "To Marry Medusa". Su trabajo ha tenido un impacto significativo en el género, inspirando a escritores futuros y dejando un legado duradero.

Además de su trabajo escrito, Sturgeon también contribuyó a la televisión, escribiendo para programas como la serie original de Star Trek de la década de 1960. Se le atribuye la creación del ritual de apareamiento vulcano y la famosa expresión "Vive mucho y prospera". La influencia de Sturgeon también se puede ver en el trabajo de Kurt Vonnegut, quien se inspiró en Sturgeon para crear el personaje de ficción recurrente Kilgore Trout.

A lo largo de su carrera, Sturgeon recibió numerosos premios y reconocimientos por su trabajo. Es receptor del Hugo Award, el Nebula Award y el International Fantasy Award. En el 2000, fue honrado póstumamente con un World Fantasy Award for Life Achievement, un testimonio del impacto duradero de sus contribuciones al género.
