Pierce is the son of John Robinson Pierce, the engineer, scientist (and science fiction writer) who coined the word "transistor". Besides works related to science fiction and popular culture, he is the author of a family history, The Children of Levi Peacock (2002). He has written critical essays and book introductions on Cordwainer Smith, and essays on Twin Peaks and The X-Files for the fanzines Wrapped in Plastic and Spectrum and has had other articles published in The New York Review of Science Fiction and Science Fiction Studies. As of 2012, he was working on a revised and updated version. Īfter leaving Galaxy, Pierce focused on a four-volume (1987–1994) critical history of science fiction under the general title, "A Study in Imagination and Evolution", adopting a conceptual framework, as opposed to a strictly chronological approach, and using parallels with biological evolution and dialectics to characterize the evolution of the genre as a whole. In 1977–78, he was named editor of Galaxy at a time when the magazine was in financial trouble, an experience he later recounted in Thirteen Months of Torment. In the 1970s he edited The Best of Murray Leinster, The Best of Cordwainer Smith and The Best of Raymond Z. Pierce published the science fiction fanzine Renaissance from 1968 through 1974, and was an outspoken critic of the New Wave.
