STEPHEN GOLDIN

The Last Ghost

STEPHEN GOLDIN was born February 28, 1947, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He began writing at the age of thirteen and first sold a story when he was eighteen. He received his bachelor's degree in astronomy from UCLA in 1968 and then was employed for almost three years as a physicist/space scientist for Navy Space Systems. He left the Navy's employment to become, in his words, "a fulltime, starving writer." He is a member of Science Fiction Writers of America, World Future Society, Astronomical Society of the Pacific, and the SFWA Speakers' Bureau. His hobby is zookeeping, and !he current inventory of his menage lists cats, mice, chipmunks, fish, snakes, a rat, an iguana, a chameleon, a land crab, a hamster, a parrot and an alligator.

Goldin edited the forthcoming collection The Alien Condition, and he assisted editor David Gerrold with the collections Protostars and Generation. He has two novels in progress.

His short story "Sweet Dreams, Melissa," concerning a new-generation computer brought up to think it's a little girl, was anthologized in Best SF 1966, edited by Harry Harrison and Brian Aldiss, and also in The Eleventh Galaxy Reader, edited by Frederik Pohl. "The Last Ghost" was a finalist in the balloting for the 1971 Nebula Awards. It is a reminder that the ultimate loneliness is not the experience of the last man alive, but the last man dead.
