John Wyndham.

The original Penguin Orange Series was edited by Brian Aldiss. It included works by John Steinbeck, Isaac Azimov, Eric Frank Russell, Katherine Maclean and Bertram Chandler.

Apart from the increasing possibility of their imagined worlds, strange and wonderful futures and corners of the universe these famous authors were free from the gravitational pull of what we class as reality in our modern times.
