James Cooke Brown
Dr. James Cooke Brown (July 21, 1921 – February 13, 2000) was a sociologist and science fiction author.〔(The Emissary, (nv) Astounding Jul 1952 ), Astounding Science Fiction (UK) Dec 1952, BROWN, JIM (chron.)〕 He is notable for creating the artificial language Loglan and for designing the Parker Brothers board game ''Careers''.〔(Designing His Own ‘Careers’ ), How Life Imitates a Board Game, by Rachel Hutton, Issue 3: The Outdoors Issue, Summer 2002, ReadyMade〕
Brown's novel ''The Troika Incident'' (Doubleday, 1970)〔(The Troika incident: a tetralogue in two parts ), Author:James Cooke Brown, Publisher:Doubleday, 1970, Length:399 pages, ASIN: B0006C09JO〕 describes a worldwide free knowledge base similar to the Internet. The novel begins with the belief that the world is on the eve of self-destruction, but then it presents a world about a century from now which is a paradise of peace and prosperity, all based on ideas, movements, and knowledge presently available in the world. In its metafictional structure, the novel is a call for social change, not through revolution but through free education and the resilience of human ingenuity. Long out of print and relatively rare, an e-book version (Amazon Kindle) of the novel was released in 2012. The novel envisioned all books and periodicals being viewed on portable electronic devices called "readers" in the year 2070, when it is set.
Among his other achievements, Brown designed, and had built, a three-hulled sailboat, called a trimaran. He utilized this boat to sail to many parts of the world.
While on a South American cruise with his wife, Brown was admitted to a hospital in Argentina, where he died at the age of 78.〔
