Over his decades-long career, Ellison wrote hundreds of novels, short stories, and screenplays. He was the recipient of multiple awards, including eight Hugos, one of which was for the screenplay to the classic Star Trek episode, “The City on the Edge of Forever.” (It also won the WGA award for Best Episodic Drama on Television.) Other notable works from Ellison include the novella A Boy and His Dog, which was later adapted into the film of the same name, and the short story Repent, Harlequin! Said the Ticktockman, both of which won Hugo and Nebula Awards.

His work on television included writing episodes of The Twilight Zone, The Outer Limits, and The Man from U.N.C.L.E. He was also a conceptual consultant on Babylon 5.
