He’s REAL?!

quote[quote] I may sound like a total ignoramus on the state of sci-fi nowadays, but it wasn’t until I was shopping for online books that I found out Alfred Bester was a REAL person! [/quote]
You’re not the only person who didn’t know!
You know, taking charactor’s names from actual people is common. If you watch Total Recall 2070, the main charactor is David Hume. Well, David Hume was real as well, he was a sort of English philosopher-author.
Didn’t think that Bester was named after a real person, though!
