When doing research about Egan we also found several other interviews going back quite a ways one with Piffle, with Eidolon, and a short one about Incandescence. His books are available widely, and watch out for his next novel Zendegi, which is due out in mid-2010. However, as the best sci-fi authors do, he also has a focus on showing the implications for humans of the technology that he writes about. It’s easy to understand why the author can bring this approach to his writing when you realise that he holds a Mathematics degree from the University of Western Australia and has a second career as a software developer. His 1998 novella Oceanic won the 1999 Hugo Award for Best Novella.Įgan’s work is usually referred to as “hard” sci-fi, which is a sub-section of the genre which often focuses on scientific accuracy or detail. Greg Egan is one of Australia’s top science fiction authors, with seven novels and a slew of collections and short stories under his belt.
