    Terry Bisson was best known for his beautifully written, sometimes hysterically funny classic science fiction short stories. Bears Discover Fire swept the Hugo, Nebula, Locus, Asimov's and Sturgeon awards. They're Made of Meat is an essential artifact of Internet history.

    There's a recent New Yorker interview (archive link) with Bisson which gives a sense of just how eclectic and fascinating a character fed those stories.
