Jeff Noon es un novelista, cuentista y dramaturgo cuyas obras emplean extensamente juegos de palabras y fantasía. Estudió bellas artes y drama, y más tarde se convirtió en escritor residente en un importante teatro, aunque pronto se marchó, quizás encontrando el realismo inherente inadecuado para los reinos fantásticos que imaginaba. Inspirada por la sugerencia de un colega mientras trabajaba en una librería, su novela debut se convirtió en un hito de la ciencia ficción británica. Noon integra a la perfección desarrollos tecnológicos en mundos de magia y fantasía, obteniendo mayor inspiración de la música y los héroes del cómic estadounidense que de otros novelistas; a menudo escribe escuchando música.
