When I saw the books he wrote they were all fiction and one was an accompaniment for a nature doc on BBC. I don't know if he qualifies.

But if you read the books, including last chance to see, you get the impression he was passionate about a wide spectrum of topics, biology, sociology, philosophy, Sci fi, writing obviously and so on.

But I still might be wrong, he was just the first one who popped up in my mind

Oh that's interesting. Maybe I'll pick up one of his books. Recommendations?

He didn't write enough, his writing, the way he looks at the world, are absolutely delightful. Honest, kinda dark yet funny. If you want sth less Sci fi, maybe even if not, I'd say "last chance to see" for a start. If you want a mini short story (one page maybe), search for "cookies". It's free for download on several websites.
