Our world is afraid of science: interview with Robert Silverberg

di Giampietro Stocco

Silverberg was born in Brooklyn, New York. A voracious reader since childhood, Robert Silverberg - born in 1935 in Brooklyn, New York - began submitting stories to science fiction magazines in his early teenage years. He attended Columbia University, receiving an A.B. in English Literature in 1956, but kept writing science fiction. His first published novel, a children's book called Revolt on Alpha C, appeared in 1955, and in the following year, he won his first Hugo, as "best new writer". For the next four years, by his own count, he wrote a million words a year, for magazines and Ace Doubles.
