Harry Harrison, geboren als Henry Maxwell Dempsey am 12. März 1925 in Stamford, Connecticut, war ein gefeierter amerikanischer Science-Fiction-Autor. Er adoptierte den Nachnamen Harrison mit 30 Jahren, obwohl er nicht wusste, dass seine Eltern den Familiennamen von Dempsey zuvor geändert hatten. Harrisons Vater, Leo Dempsey, hatte irische Wurzeln und arbeitete als Maler, während seine Mutter eine jüdische Einwanderin aus Russland war. Aufgrund des Berufs seines Vaters lebte Harrison in seiner Kindheit in verschiedenen Ländern, darunter England, Dänemark, Irland, Mexiko und Italien.
Bevor Harrison seine Schriftstellerkarriere begann, diente er in der Armee und entwickelte ein Interesse an Esperanto, um Langeweile zu bekämpfen. Später beeinflusste dieses Interesse sein Schreiben, wobei Esperanto häufig in seinen Büchern auftauchte. Harrison zog während der 1970er Jahre nach Irland, wo er ein Haus in County Wicklow baute und viele Jahre mit seiner Familie lebte. Er wurde zu einem Befürworter von Esperanto und diente als Ehrenpräsident der Irischen Esperanto-Vereinigung.
Harry Harrison ist am besten für seine Science-Fiction- und Fantasy-Romane bekannt, insbesondere für seine Figur, den Stainless Steel Rat, und den Roman Make Room! Make Room! (1966), der als Grundlage für den Film Soylent Green (1973) diente. Bevor er Romancier wurde, arbeitete Harrison als Künstler für EC Comics und trug zu Serien wie Weird Fantasy und Weird Science bei. Er schrieb auch syndizierte Comic-Strips. Harrisons Science-Fiction-Geschichten umfassten typischerweise Abenteuer und Satire, oft mit ernsten Themen. Er begann seine Schriftstellerkarriere mit der Veröffentlichung von Deathworld im Jahr 1960, obwohl er dem Genre bereits vorher bedeutende Beiträge geleistet hatte. Harrison war auch Mitpräsident der Birmingham Science Fiction Group, gemeinsam mit Brian W. Aldiss.
