Together with J.G. Ballard (whose novel "Crash",1973 was adapted for screen in 1996 by Cronenberg) Brian Aldiss published stories in the magazine "New Worlds" (1946-1970), whose editor was Michael Moorcock.
Moorcock also wrote stories, but these tended to be more fantasy than SF.
The authors in "New Worlds" tried to found new aspects of science fiction and the
concept New Wave was created, where some of the most famous authors was
Brian Aldiss and J.G. Ballard.
New Wave contained much more experimental, and focused on the psychological aspects rather than "hard sf".
Important ingredients could be drugs, overpopulation, disasters, and sex.
From the New Wave until now Science Fiction have been written by authors that has studied science of some sort, mostly behavioural science.
