Geoffrey Hoyle (born 1942) is an English science fiction writer, best known for the works which he co-authored with his father, the astronomer Sir Fred Hoyle. About half of Fred Hoyle's science fiction works were co-authored with his son. () He was educated at Bryanston School in Dorset, and then entered Cambridge where he read Economics. After 1964, Hoyle worked in London in the field of modern communications and the film/television industry. Unlike his father, he is not a scientist, and contributed to the more "human" side of their co-authored novels – however, he did work as a "scientific advisor" to some series such as ''Timeslip''. In 2010, his book ''2010: Living in the Future'' was popularised by (a blog ) which compared Hoyle's 38-year-old predictions with the reality of modern life. This led to a Facebook campaign to track down Hoyle and talk to him about his visions.〔(Futurology: The tricky art of knowing what will happen next - Finlo Rohrer, BBC News Magazine 23 December 2010 )〕 ==Works== (Novels unless otherwise specified) With his father, Fred Hoyle: * ''Fifth Planet'', 1963 * ''Rockets in Ursa Major'', 1969 (based on a play by Fred) * ''Seven Steps to the Sun, 1970 * ''The Inferno'', 1973 * ''The Molecule Men and the Monster of Loch Ness'', 1973 (short story collection) * ''Into Deepest Space'', 1974 * ''The Incandescent Ones'', 1977 * ''The Westminster Disaster'', 1978 * ''Commonsense in Nuclear Energy'', 1980 (non-fiction) * The Professor Gamma series * * ''The Energy Pirate'', 1982 * * ''The Frozen Planet of Azuron'', 1982 * * ''The Giants of Universal Park'', 1982 * * ''The Planet of Death'', 1982 With Janice Robertson * ''Ask Me Why'', 1976 (non-fiction) As sole author - * ''2010: Living in the Future'', 1972 (illustrated by Alasdair Anderson) * ''Disaster'', 1975 * ''Flight (Achievements)'', 1984 (illustrated by Gerald Witcomb) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Geoffrey Hoyle」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
