| January 1998:
This month, rather than capsule reviews of recommended books, I've chosen to feature a single writer in this section. So...
GREG EGAN, Australia's best-known hard sf writer.
|
Greg Egan is known in the UK as an "Interzone discovery" (Interzone is Britain's only
professional sf magazine), but in recent years he can often be found in the pages of Asimov's SF Magazine. In 1995, he won the John W Campbell Award for his novel Permutation City, and a number of his short stories have been chosen for Gardner Dozois' The Year's Best SF anthologies. Egan's fiction is often based around extensive extrapolation of cutting-edge science and mathematics.
