Daniel F. Galouye (1920–1976) was a New Orleans journalist and war-injured former Navy test pilot who wrote quietly visionary science fiction. Dark Universe (a Hugo finalist) imagines humanity living blind in lightless caverns; Simulacron-3 posits a simulated world unaware it is simulated, filmed as The Thirteenth Floor and by Fassbinder as World on a Wire. He received the Cordwainer Smith Rediscovery Award in 2007.
