One of the most lauded SF authors of his generation, FREDERICK POHL has passed on. Pohl was an author, an agent an editor and a fan. He edited SF fiction magazines like GALAXY and IF and won several awards for his novels such as Gateway and Jem.
Oddly, for such a prolific talent, very little of Pohl's work has been adapted for TV and Film with stuff like the TV movie CLONEMASTER and an obscure Italian film of TUNNEL UNDER THE WORLD being rare examples. He did write episodes of shows like Tales From Tomorrow and Tales From The Darkside.
