BERRY, Adrian

BERRY, Adrian
(1937-)
   UK science journalist (often in the London Daily Telegraph) and occasional sf writer. His sf novels Koyama's Diamond (1982) and its sequel Labyrinth of Lies (1984), set in a FAR-FUTURE planetary system with much political intrigue, have some interesting ideas and plot turns, but are written in a lurid style reminiscent of 1930s PULP MAGAZINES. His more important service to sf has been the publication of a number of nonfiction science books about the future (FUTUROLOGY), including the bestselling The Next Ten Thousand Years: A Vision of Man's Future in the Universe (1974) as well as The Iron Sun: Crossing the Universe through Black Holes (1977) and From Apes to Astronauts (coll 1980). The topics discussed in these books - mostly to do with physics and speculative technology - are among those much exploited by HARD-SF writers in the 1970s and since.
