Robert Sheckley (born July 16, 1928) is an author of fantasies that are often moralistic (in the sense that they have a moral), but slapstick and absurdist -- taking the form of science fiction, and thrillers. He is the author of a number of episodes of The Twilight Zone. One of his novels, Immortality Inc -- about a world in which the afterlife is scientifically perfect -- was very loosely adapted into the film, Freejack, starring Mick Jagger and Emilio Estevez.
His novel Dimension of Miracles is often cited as an influence on Douglas Adams.
