Ward Moore (1903–1978) was an American science fiction writer whose life and career are documented only in limited public sources. In Chinese-language library records, only one work by him is held, the novel Greener Than You Think. This novel unfolds in the manner of science fiction comedy, centering on the social chaos caused by an out-of-control, spreading plant, and carrying a satirical edge about modern technology and social responses. Moore's writing often uses absurd situations to carry serious themes, giving him a distinctive place in mid-twentieth-century American science fiction. For Chinese readers, his work remains relatively little translated and little known.
