John Brunner (1934-1995) was a British science fiction writer. His best-known novels include ''[[Stand On Zanzibar]]'' (which won a [[Hugo Award]]), ''[[The Shockwave Rider]]'' (a forerunner of [[Cyberpunk]] that predicted many aspects of the internet), ''The Sheep Look Up'', and ''The Squares of the City''. Also notable is ''The Traveller in Black'' (later further expanded as ''The Compleat Traveller in Black''), a collection of short stories.

* [[Aesoptinum]]: The novel ''The Stone That Never Came Down'' centers around an artificial, self-replicating protein (today, we'd call it a prion) that eliminates selective inattention - the brain ''has'' to make connections between pieces of information that it previously ignored. In addition to an intelligence boost, this bestows automatic empathy, since those infected can no longer disregard the genuine pain that others feel.
* [[Bathe Her and Bring Her to Me]]: In the Traveller in Black novella "The Wager Lost by Winning", the rather unsympathetic protagonist is bathed before being claimed by Lord Fellian.
