ONE OF THE MOST UNIQUE AND THOUGHT PROVOKING SCIENCE FICTION WRITERS OF ALL TIME
BUT SADLY NOT THE MOST WELL KNOWN BY MOST READERS. MOST AUTHORS KNOW HIM (I got recommended this book by Mark Manson,a self-help author.) NO WONDER HE GOT SO MUCH SCIENCE FICTIONS AWARDS. JUST GOOGLE HIS NAME AND HIS AWARDS.
So finding his writing is finding gold in mountains of gravel.
Who cares if he has only short stories and novels or no series. The format he writes and the content and the way he writes and provokes your thoughts and possible futures we have and how humanity thinks and works beats most of the lengthy science fiction novels I know any day.
