But only Orson Scott Card could legitimately and centrally stand with Bear in this decade and manifest the voice of US Genre SF. Other new writers in that period, like Lucius Shepard, had perhaps a greater grasp of the aesthetic trials and challenges of the art of fiction still others, like Kim Stanley Robinson, might conceive a more argued, more relevant world some, like David Brin, might be handier with galaxies and William Gibson, by giving Cyberpunk a habitation, gave Bruce Sterling (and a million wannabe residents of Cyberspace) a home. He also served as President of Science Fiction Writers of America 1988-1990. Between 19, however, Bear published six novels whose importance to the realm of Hard SF – and to the world of sf in general – it would be hard to overrate. His first stories and novels were auspicious but not perhaps remarkably so his early work did not hint at all strongly that he would become one of the dominant writers of the 1980s. He began publishing work of genre interest with "Destroyers" in Famous Science Fiction for Winter 1967, and became a full-time writer in 1975. Working name of US author Gregory Dale Bear (1951-2022), son-in-law of Poul Anderson.
