Bob Shaw was born in Northern Ireland in 1931; by the end of the decade he'd fallen in love with sf as, he said, an escape from the dullness of suburban Belfast.
I've never been so grateful to Bob Shaw and to sf in general as when in the late 1980s I started getting it myself, and was saved from abject panic by realizing this was the harmless phenomenon about which he'd been writing.

 Light of Other Days by Bob Shaw
Bob Shaw is the author of a significant body of successful science fiction novels and stories and is one of the leading science fiction personalities in the UK.
Shaw extrapolates "slow glass" from the indices of refraction of glass and crystal, and from the simple fact that all of our sensory input is delayed by a tiny interval.
Shaw's slow glass can recall images of the past, allowing Shaw to show the consequences of attaining the state to which Proust's protagonist aspires -- through the imagery of hard science fiction, Shaw binds the fact of the speed of light to our most intimate experiences.
