Stanley G. Weinbaum
Stanley Grauman Weinbaum (April 4, 1902 – December 14, 1935) was an American
science fiction writer. His first story, "
A Martian Odyssey", was published to great acclaim in July 1934; the alien
Tweel was arguably the first character to satisfy
John W. Campbell's challenge: "Write me a creature who thinks ''as well as'' a man, or better than a man, but not ''like'' a man." Weinbaum wrote more short stories and a few novels, but died from
lung cancer less than a year and a half later.
