Dr. James Cooke Brown (July 21, 1921 – February 13, 2000) was a sociologist and science fiction author. He created the artificial language Loglan, and designed the Parker Brothers board game Careers. His novel The Troika Incident (Doubleday, 1970) describes a world-wide free knowledge base similar to the Internet. The novel begins with the belief that the world is on the eve of self-destruction but then presents a world about a century from now which is a paradise of peace and prosperity, all based on ideas, movements, and knowledge presently available in the world. In its metafictional structure the novel is a call for social change, not through revolution but through free education and the resilience of human ingenuity.
