Sad to hear this - last of a magnificent cohort of SF writers, for my money. The genre's moved on for sure, but there's a certain style and mode to that era that appeals to me enormously.
When I was a kid I used to think of an ABC of truly great SF - Asimov, Bradbury, Clarke - but I never really entirely felt sure that A was for Asimov, and not for Aldiss. Perhaps there was a second team - Aldiss, Ballard... Chilton, maybe?
