Jeff Noon

Jeff Noon (1957 - ) is a British author, primarily associated with the science fiction genre. He has written several novels, all of which are set in some version of his native city, Manchester, except for his most recent work Falling out of Cars whose setting was inspired by his recent relocation to Brighton. Other published works include a collection of short stories, several other short stories, a play, several newspaper and magazine articles, and an oddity. His novels are Vurt, Pollen, Automated Alice, Nymphomation, Needle in the Groove and Falling out of Cars. The collection of short stories is Pixel Juice, the play is Woundings, and the oddity is Cobralingus, a short book of pieces derived by applying the techniques of musical remixing to source texts.

In 2000 , Jeff Noon and David Toop released a CD Needle in the Groove: if music were a drug, where would it take you on Sulphur Records.

Vurt was awarded the 1994 Arthur C. Clarke Award
