   Speculative-fiction writer Harlan Ellison, who penned short stories, novellas   
   and criticism, contributed to TV series including "The Outer Limits," "Star   
   Trek" and "Babylon 5" and won a notable copyright infringement suit against   
   ABC and Paramount and a settlement in a similar suit over "The Terminator,"   
   has died. He was 84.   
       
   Christine Valada tweeted that Ellison's wife, Susan, had asked her to announce

   Susan Ellison has asked me to announce the passing of writer Harlan Ellison,   
   in his sleep, earlier today. "For a brief time I was here, and for a brief   
   time, I mattered."-He, 1934-2018. Arrangements for a celebration of his life   
   are pending.

   The prolific but cantankerous author famously penned the "Star Trek" episode   
   "City on the Edge of Forever," in which Kirk and Spock must go back in time to   
   Depression-era America to put Earth history back on its rightful course.
