“John Clute was born 1940 in Toronto, then lived in Chicago and New York before coming to London in 1969, where he settled. From its first publication in 1979, with founder editor Peter Nicholls, and continuing since 2011 with David Langford, he has edited and written copy for the Encyclopedia of Science Fiction. The first three editions of the SFE each won a Hugo, plus other awards. Clute’s second novel, Appleseed (2001) was a New York Times Notable Book for 2002. Awards for his work in general include a 1994 Pilgrim, an IAFA award as Distinguished Guest Scholar, and a 2012 Nebula/Solstice and others.
David (Rowland) Langford is a British author, editor, and critic, largely active within the science fiction field. He publishes the science-fiction fanzine and newsletter Ansible and holds the all-time record for most Hugo Awards, with a total of 29 wins.
John and David co-edited the most recent edition of The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction (SFE), an amazing online resource you can access here: https://sf-encyclopedia.com/.”
