Jeff Noon je románopisec, poviedkár a dramatik, ktorého diela rozsiahle využívajú slovné hry a fantáziu. Študoval výtvarné umenie a drámu na Manchesterskej univerzite a následne bol menovaný rezidenčným autorom v Kráľovskej divadelnej spoločnosti v meste. Noon sa však v divadelnom svete nezdržal príliš dlho, možno preto, že realizmus spojený s divadlom nebol vhodný pre fantastické svety, ktoré túžil vymýšľať. Pracoval v kníhkupectve, kde mu kolega navrhol, aby napísal román, výsledkom ktorého bol Vurt, najštýlovejší sci-fi román vydaný v Británii od čias Michaela Moorcocka. Noon sa nezaujíma o technológiu ako takú, ale začleňuje technologický vývoj do sveta mágie a fantasy, pričom hudba je jeho väčšou inšpiráciou ako romanopisci.
