RSRobert Silverberg
Robert Silverberg (born January 15, 1935 in Brooklyn, NY) is a prolific author best known for writing science fiction, a multiple winner of both the Hugo and Nebula Awards.

He attended Columbia University, receiving an A.B. in English Literature in 1956, but he kept writing science fiction.
