	Science Fiction Weekly Interview
		Pohl was born on Nov. 26, 1919, in Brooklyn, N.Y. He fell in love with writing at an early age.
		Pohl: What keeps me interested in SF is science—that is, the constantly unfolding observational and theoretical knowledge of how the universe works—and how this can be expressed SF stories.
		Pohl: The thing about SF is that it isn't monolithic and doesn't have unique trends; it goes in all directions at once, as individual writers think of new things to explore and others learn from them.

	The Templeton Gate - Authors - Frederik Pohl's Slave Ship
		Pohl mentions that one of the Caodais' saints is Victor Hugo (the 19th century writer, poet, and politician), forcing me to believe this is the man whose name Pohl bestowed at the end of Nguyen’s name.
		It is possible that in 1957 Pohl hypothesized that the world had not seen the last of the Caodais, and that their threat, or a similar one, was a living breathing possibility.
		What Pohl utilizes the Caodais to conjecture is that a religious group given military training might prove to be an elusive enemy and could create a whole new approach to fighting in both military means and propaganda.

		The future, according to veteran SF author Frederik Pohl is extremely bleak.

	Barnes & Noble.com - Gateway - Frederik Pohl - Paperback
		Frederik Pohl's 1976 classic Gateway -- one of only a handful of novels that have won both the Hugo and Nebula Awards -- is the story of an alien way station containing hundreds of preprogrammed starships and of the daring humans who risk their lives to pilot them to their unknown destinations.
		Arguably Pohl's finest work ever, Gateway is worth its weight in gold -- a transcendent classic that is just as good as it was almost three decades ago, if not better.
		Without a doubt, this is Pohl's finest novel, a suprisingly interesting character study as well as an indictment of the corporate mindset.

	Day Million by Frederik Pohl
		Frederik Pohl, writer and editor, is one of the pivotal figures in the science fiction field between the 1930s and the 1990s.
		Although he edited pulp science fiction magazines, Astonishing Stories and Super Science Stories, in 1940-41 before he was twenty-one, he did not become prominent until the 1950s, for his novels in collaboration with C.
		Although Pohl's chosen mode has frequently been extrapolation of politics and society, with a deep and canny bow to psychology and psychiatry, his rigorous methodology has lent an underpinning of "hardness," to much of his best fiction (especially his work since 1970) that places it rightfully beside the best of Asimov, Clarke, Herbert, and Heinlein.

	Best Science Fiction of the Year 4. Terry Carr.
		Pohl takes us through the story through the eyes of one such unfortunate, Wayne Golden, whose rare time off work provides him with time for a grabbed meal and drink and onanistic relief.
		The way that Pohl handles the almost claustrophobic and schizophrenic impact of having your mind and body (and bodily movements) controlled by aliens is consummate.
		For not only is Golden a criminal, he is a serial murder and paedophile, and at the end we witness, dramatically, the darkness buried in the core of Golden (entirely misnamed!) as he is united with his love, and he cannot keep his hands off her (neck).

	FireBlade Book Review: The Way the Future Was
		Pohl began his affair with Science Fiction in 1930 and has worked in the field as fan, writer, editor, and agent since he was ten years old.
		Pohl knew everybody then; if he didn’t know them as an editor to a writer, he knew them as writer to editor, or to publisher, or, as was often the case, as a fellow Futurian”;.
		Pohl was around, if not for the very beginnings of science fiction, for the beginnings of most of what mattered: the “good” magazines, the greatest writers, the fan clubs, the science fiction convention.

		Pohl's unheroic hero Broadhead has both good and bad luck in Heechee craft, emerging with riches and terrible loss.
		I think I enjoy Pohl's books because he takes an interesting scientific idea, but that is only the setting for his story and it is the human drama that takes the forefront.
