Bon Vivant. Raconteur. Philanthropist. Obstetrician. Hero. All of these words have been used, and (more importantly) understood, by author Michael Ronson, the author of this tome that you have finished reading and are currently recommending to a friend. Although he is now a beloved author and man, Ronson’s road was not an easy one. He was born as a baby with no published books to his name, no respect and few controllable bodily functions. However, if there’s one thing Michael Ronson is known for it’s overcoming obstacles and his intelligence. So with a few years of practice and study he became a fully-fledged adult, coming top of his class and graduating with honours. With that under his belt he set his eyes to becoming a wealthy and successful businessman. Several years later Ronson started writing. A brief detour in the field of erotic fiction had proved fruitless and upsetting for all involved, but Ronson carried his love of prose and elaborate, sexual similes over to science fiction. Ronson had found the love of his life. It was prescription painkillers. But selling science fiction stories was a good way to get money for them and Ronson began spinning what he called “fantastical tales of spaceships and aliens and whatever.” Years down the line Ronson hit paydirt with the creation of the character Captain Space Hardcore, a man that Ronson conceived of as his Ubermensch. An ardent follower of Nietzsche, Ronson decided to create a man who was perfect in every way. With no character flaws or frailties to hold him back Hardcore was a perfect distillation of Ronson’s far right values and hatred of complexity.
