Hartridge, Jon
Entry updated 16 February 2026. Tagged: Author.
(1933-2023) UK author associated, like Brian W Aldiss, with the Oxford Mail, of which he was features editor, and for which he wrote reviews of considerable interest. His sf novels are Binary Divine (1969), in which a Computer, in the conviction that it is god, creates a Dystopia; and Earthjacket (1970), in which attempts to redeem Earth from an authoritarian, Technology-obsessed Near Future cause widespread destruction.
