Harlan Jay Ellison (born May 27, 1934) is a prolific American writer of short stories, novellas, essays, and criticism. His literary and television work has received many awards. He wrote for the original series of The Outer Limits and The Original Series, edited the multiple award-winning short story anthology series Dangerous Visions and served as creative consultant to the science fiction TV series The New Twilight Zone and Babylon 5.

Ellison's most famous stories were published within the science fiction genre, and he has won multiple Hugo and Nebula awards. He was also very active in the science fiction community (he was a founder of the Cleveland Science Fiction Society and edited its fanzine as a teenager) and gives colorful and confrontational talks at science fiction conventions.

Ellison's fantasy work, however, is usually better aligned with surrealism or magical realism than space opera-type science fiction. There is also a strong ethical current that runs through his work, half of which is nonfiction, which includes social activism and criticism of the arts.

I'm beginning to realize Harlan Ellison is right:Elitism, when u define it as settling for nothing but the best,is a GOOD thing.
