About Ray Cummings
Ray Cummings (1887-1957) was an American author, one of the founding writers of American science fiction and a prolific contributor to the pulp magazines of the early 20th century. A pioneer of the genre, he helped establish many of its early conventions of adventure among the stars, through time, and across scales of size. Cummings is best known for imaginative 'scientific romances' such as The Girl in the Golden Atom, which imagined a world existing within a single atom, and tales of time travel and interplanetary adventure like The Man Who Mastered Time and Beyond the Vanishing Point. He wrote at a furious pace, producing hundreds of stories. Having worked early in his career as an assistant to the inventor Thomas Edison, Cummings brought a fascination with science and technology to his fast-moving pulp adventures.
