Jeff Noon ist ein Romanautor, Kurzgeschichtenautor und Dramatiker, dessen Werke ausgiebig Wortspiele und Fantasie einsetzen. Er studierte Kunst und Drama und wurde später Hausautor an einem großen Theater, verließ dieses jedoch bald, vielleicht weil der inhärente Realismus für die von ihm erdachten fantastischen Welten ungeeignet war. Inspiriert von der Anregung eines Kollegen, während er in einem Buchladen arbeitete, wurde sein Debütroman zu einem Meilenstein der britischen Science-Fiction. Noon integriert technologische Entwicklungen nahtlos in Welten voller Magie und Fantasie und schöpft mehr Inspiration aus Musik und amerikanischen Comic-Helden als aus anderen Romanautoren; er schreibt oft zu Musik.
