Autoren-Porträt von Olaf Stapledon
William Olaf Stapledon (1886-1950) was a British philosopher and author, whose work left a significant footprint on the landscape of science fiction literature. Stapledon's narrative style blends philosophical discourse with speculative imagination, often addressing themes of consciousness, ethics, and the human condition within cosmic scales. 'Odd John: A Story Between Jest and Earnest' (1935) has been pivotal in Stapledon's oeuvre, chronicling the life of a super-intellectual who transcends human limitations, encapsulating his recurrent interest in the concept of evolutionary potential and superior beings. Stapledon's impact on the literary world is noticeable in the acknowledgment of later science fiction writers, who cite his work as a profound influence. Predating the formal establishment of science fiction as a genre, his narratives, including 'Last and First Men' (1930) and 'Star Maker' (1937), offer rich, future histories that explore the existential fates of mankind and the universe. Stapledon's work not only constructs fantastical universes but also provokes philosophical introspection, inviting readers to ponder the broader implications of scientific and evolutionary progress.
