Colin Kapp (1928 - August 3, 2007) was a British science fiction author.
A contemporary of Brian Aldiss and James White, Kapp is best known for his stories about the Unorthodox Engineers.
His 1984 short story "Something in the City" was eerily prescient about the situation faced by the US military after the 2003 invasion of Iraq. In this story, soldiers occupying a Middle Eastern country after overthrowing a dictator are being picked off by booby traps (similar to Improvised Explosive Devices) controlled by an artificial intelligence left behind by the defeated ruler.
