Who's the author ?

Rushdie/Archer possibly.

The author is Douglas Adams.

The man in question is a well known gadget fiend.

The chap in question was also the last "Pipe Smoker of the Year" before the award was discontinued.

Surely you jest?

Just in case you're not, this chap has appeared in numerous TV shows including Countdown. He also suffers from bi-polar disorder.

Anything to do with flammable alcohol?

Heh. I had to cheat in the end.
