Hard to believe of him as being in his 90s. I haven't read a huge amount of him - the world of tiers stuff, the odd Riverworld novel, a volume or two of short stories. But he pushed back some interesting boundaries.

I always thought of him as a generation later than the likes of Clarke but actually just 5 weeks younger. Some of the shorts like 'Mother' are still remarkable.
