Jack Vance (1916-2013) was a [[Science Fiction]] and [[Fantasy]] author, who wrote, continuously, since the 1950s. Arguably, he is most well-known for the ''[[Dying Earth (novel)|Dying Earth]]'' series, set in the last days of Earth when technology has become a kind of magic; this system of magic was a huge influence on ''[[Dungeons and Dragons]]''. However, he also wrote a massive amount of incredibly diverse science fiction and fantasy, making his work fairly hard to categorize.
