Career
Michael Moorcock achieved recognition and some notoriety as the instigator of the so-called "New Wave" movement in science fiction as the editor of New Worlds magazine, which featured stories with strong social, satirical, and dystopian views of the future of the world and the British Empire specifically. Internationally, he achieved fame with his Elric of Melniboné character and series of books featuring an amoral, emotionally tortured, albino sorcerer-king in a addictive relationship with his sentient, evil sword. The Elric books are also part of Moorcock's "Multiverse" canon, wherein characters from different books and settings cross paths and are seen as different incarnations of the same being, an "Eternal Champion."-
