About the Authors
Frederik Pohl was one of the major figures of twentieth-century American science fiction: a writer, editor, agent, anthologist, and critic whose career helped shape the field from the magazine era through the modern period. Born in 1919, Pohl was closely associated with the Futurians and with the development of socially aware, idea-driven science fiction. His later novels, including The Space Merchants, Man Plus, and Gateway, made him especially known for fiction that examined commerce, advertising, bureaucracy, technology, and the systems that shape human choice. His work often treated the future not as distant machinery but as an extension of existing social and economic pressures.
Lester del Rey was an American science fiction writer, editor, and publishing figure whose career spanned pulp magazines, juvenile science fiction, novels, criticism, and major editorial work. Born in 1915, he became known for direct, readable speculative fiction and for his later influence as an editor at Ballantine and Del Rey Books, where his name became permanently associated with popular science fiction and fantasy publishing. In Preferred Risk, Pohl and del Rey collaborated under the joint pseudonym Edson McCann, producing a compact but unusually pointed work of Cold War-era science fiction about corporate control, managed risk, social compliance, and the political uses of fear. The pseudonymous authorship is confirmed in bibliographic sources including Project Gutenberg, ISFDB, and Fantastic Fiction.
