Robert J. Sawyer

Robert J. Sawyer, called "just about the best science fiction writer out there" by The Denver Rocky Mountain News and "the leader of SF's next-generation pack" by Barnes and Noble, frequently writes science fiction about artificial intelligence, most notably in his Aurora Award-winning novel Golden Fleece (named the best SF novel of the year by critic Orson Scott Card, writing in The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction); The Terminal Experiment (winner of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America's Nebula Award for Best Novel of the Year); the Hugo-Award nominated Factoring Humanity; the Hugo-Award nominated Calculating God (which hit #1 on the best-sellers list published by Locus, the trade journal of the SF field); and his just-released thirteenth novel, Hominids, which deals with the quantum-mechanical origin of consciousness. According to Reuters, he was the first SF author to have a website. For more information on Rob and his work, visit that extensive site at: http://www.sfwriter.com/.
