Garrett Putman Serviss war ein amerikanischer Astronom und früher Science-Fiction-Autor, der dafür bekannt war, komplexe wissenschaftliche Konzepte für den breiten Leser verständlich zu machen. Seine Karriere begann er als Journalist, wo er seine Fähigkeit verfeinerte, wissenschaftliche Details klar zu erklären, was ihn dazu brachte, Astronomie und verwandte Themen durch ausgedehnte öffentliche Vorträge und eine syndizierte Zeitungsspalte zu popularisieren. Serviss' literarisches Schaffen umfasst sowohl spezielle Werke zur Astronomie als auch fiktive Erzählungen, die heute als Science-Fiction klassifiziert würden. Sein Ansatz bot den Lesern eine einzigartige Mischung aus wissenschaftlicher Genauigkeit und fantasievollem Geschichtenerzählen und festigte seine Position als bedeutende Stimme sowohl in der populären Wissenschaft als auch in der frühen spekulativen Fiktion.
