Hugo Gernsback (August 16, 1884 -- August 19, 1967), born Hugo 
Gernsbacher, was a Luxembourgish-American inventor, writer, editor, and 
magazine publisher, best known for publications including the first 
science fiction magazine. His contributions to the genre as publisher 
were so significant that, along with the novelists H. G. Wells and Jules 
Verne, he is sometimes called "The Father of Science Fiction". In his 
honor, annual awards presented at the World Science Fiction Convention 
are named the "Hugos".
