Terry Pratchett:
Science Fiction Technology and Ideas
Terry Pratchett (1948-2015) UK writer who began publishing with "The Hades Business" in Science Fantasy in 1963. Though suffering from early-onset Alzheimer's disease – afflicting the posterior lobe, and therefore primarily visual and motor skills, forcing him to dictate rather than type his final works – he continued to write, publish and appear regularly on UK bestseller lists until 2014.
