Overview: Thomas Joseph Bassler was born on July 7, 1932 in Clinton, Iowa. Bassler graduated with a medical degree from the University of Iowa in 1959, afterwards serving a tour of duty as an Army pathologist.
After his military service, Bassler received his MD from the Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine in 1959, and settled in Southern California, where from 1961 to 1964 he worked as deputy coroner until opening a private pathology practice.
Using the pseudonym T.J. Bass, Bassler published his first story, “Star Itch”, for the September 1968 issue of If. His first novel, Half Past Human was published in 1971.
Bass’ literary output consisted almost entirely of his wildly-dystopian “Hive” series, set on a future Earth dominated by a vast underground civilization of degenerate four-toed humans known as ‘nebishes’, who have stripped the planet of nearly all non-human biomass to support a population of three trillion. His only two novels, Half Past Human and The Godwhale, both take place in this setting, and were both nominated for the Nebula Award.
In addition to Bass’ fiction output, he published (under his legal name) a 1979 mass-market diet-and-lifestyle book, The Whole Life Diet.
Thomas Joseph Bassler died on December 13, 2011 in Rancho Palos Verdes, California. He was survived by his wife and three children.
