71 is fairly young these days.
I wonder if he had the Covid shot and boosters.
What were his politics?
I can’t recall his Science Fiction, but I pretty much stopped reading Science Fiction about 1994. Science Fiction is usually a pretty good picture into the author’s politics and world view.

I never heard of him, but what gets my attention is we were both born in 1951.

Greg Bear Home Page Bear bounced between hard science and intelligent fantasy.
His Eon series about Thistledown and the Way captivated me with both hard science and with a great story.

Really sorry to hear this; he was one of the best.
Vaguely knew him, back in the day, having known Astrid even before she was a teen.
Parties & club meetings at the Anderson’s, & elsewhere; SCA; conventions.
Pretty much left that life soon after President Reagan was elected, and we could finally afford to relocate out of Cali.

Bear was a good author. His The Forge of God is one of my all-time favorites.
