Biography

Pour payer ses études en journalisme à l'université du Michigan, il exerce divers petits métiers : manutentionnaire, ouvrier agricole, vendeur de magazines, caddy sur des terrains de golf. Il obtient son diplôme en 1933 et travaille d'abord comme correcteur au Springfield Republican, puis comme reporter au Knickerbocker Press et au Evening News. À partir des années 1940 et jusqu'aux années 1960, il est un prolifique scénariste pour la radio et la télévision.

En 1949, il publie son premier roman, L'Œil géant (The Big Eye), appartenant au genre de la science-fiction. Puis, en 1952, il écrit son premier roman policier Vous l'aurez voulu (Spin the Glass Web). Ce roman est adapté en 1953 dans un film américain, intitulé Le Crime de la semaine (The Glass Web ), réalisé par Jack Arnold. En 1955, il fait paraître « son roman le plus célèbre », En voiture s'il vous plait (First Train to Babylon), un « excellent récit psychologique », selon Claude Mesplède. Il est adapté au cinéma pour le film américain La Lame nue (The Naked Edge), réalisé par Michael Anderson, avec Gary Cooper et Deborah Kerr.

In 1902, John (Scott), his much younger wife Maida (Scott's real-life wife, Trish Van Devere) and their infant son David (played by both Lee Montgomery and John David Carson) are the only survivors of a ship that crashes into the rocky beach of an uncharted island during a violent storm. By 1912, David, now a seemingly happy 12-year-old boy, begins to enter puberty. By the time he is 17, David is consumed by lust for his mother, which drives a wedge between him and his father to the point where they hunt each other down for the affections of the only woman on the island.

Set in the future, the Earth has become severely polluted (people need to wear breathing masks when outside) with severe overpopulation affecting available resources. Because of the permanent thick smog that has settled over the dismal cities that now cover the Earth’s entire surface, all animals – even common household pets - are extinct; people eat tasteless bright-colored paste out of plastic containers. To reduce the world's population, the world's government decrees that no children may be conceived for the next 30 years. Breaking this law will result in a death penalty for both the parents as well as the newborn. Brainwashing and robot substitutes are used to end the yearning for children with the death penalty as the ultimate deterrent, by being placed under a plastic dome and suffocated to death. Couples of child-bearing age visit "Babyland" and are given life-size animatronic children instead.
