Robert Holdstock, 1948-2009

It was with great sadness that we learned of Robert Holdstock’s passing on the morning of 29 November.

Rob made a valuable, generous and genuinely unique contribution to National Videogame Archive’s events at GameCity this year, where he joined Ian Bell, David Braben, Mark Bolitho and others to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Elite. Reading excerpts from The Dark Wheel novella he wrote to accompany the game, Rob captivated the audience and it was truly a privilege to witness his performance.

Everybody at the NVA sends their deepest sympathies to his partner Sarah and his family. He will be greatly missed.
