He is a multiple winner of both the Hugo and Nebula Awards. Silverberg was born in Brooklyn New York. A voracious reader since childhood he began submitting stories to science fiction magazines in his early teenage years. He attended Columbia University receiving an . in English Literature in 1956 but kept writing science fiction. His first published novel a children s book called Revolt on Alpha C appeared in 1955 and in the following year he won his first Hugo as best new writer . For the next four years by his own count he wrote a million words a year for magazines and Ace Doubles. In 1959 the market for science fiction collapsed and Silverberg turned his ability to write copiously to other fields from carefully researched historical nonfiction to softcore pornography for Nightstand Books. In the mid-1960s science fiction writers were starting to be more literarily ambitious. Frederik Pohl then editing three science fiction magazines offered Silverberg carte blanche in writing for them. Thus inspired Sil-verberg returned to writing paying far more attention to depth of character and social background than he had in the past and mixing in elements of the modernist literature he had studied at Columbia. The books he wrote at this time were widely considered a quantum leap from his earlier work. Perhaps the first book to indicate the new Silverberg was To Open the Sky a fixup of stories published by Pohl in Galaxy in which a new religion helps people reach the stars. That was followed by Downward to the Earth perhaps the first postcolonial science fiction book a story containing echoes of some material from Joseph Conrad s work in which the Terran former administrator of an alien world returns after it is set free. .
