Robert J. Sawyer’s specialty is extrapolating today’s scientific, medical, and ethical concerns into the near future, making the radical changes that are forthcoming understandable to any audience. He has made over 800 radio and TV appearances, including CBC’s Quirks & Quarks and NPR’s Science Friday, and he’s given over a hundred keynote addresses at venues all over the world, including the Library of Congress, Cambridge University, and the China Science and Technology Museum.

Rob’s twenty-five bestselling science-fiction novels are known for “marshaling a daunting quantity of fact and theory from across scientific disciplines” (National Post) to produce “page after page of bold scientific extrapolation” (The New York Times). New Scientist calls his work “scientifically plausible, fictionally intriguing, and ethically important,” The Toronto Star calls him “Canada’s answer to Michael Crichton,” and artificial-intelligence pioneer Marvin Minsky said, “Lately, I’ve been inspired by the work of Robert J. Sawyer.”
