I've been writing science fiction professionally since my first novel A Hidden Place was published in 1986. My books include Darwinia, Blind Lake, and the Hugo Award-winning Spin. My newest novel is The Affinities (April 2015).
I chose it because it was introduced as the best foreign sci-fi of 2008. It was pretty good. There are various episodes, and I thought some episodes might be unnecessary. However, I reconsidered that novels are like this.
