Born in California, Robert Charles Wilson lives in Toronto. "Darwinia "won Canada's Aurora Award, "The Chronoliths" won the John W. Campbell Award, and "Blind Lake" is a "New York Times" Notable Book. All three were Hugo finalists.
"Robert Charles Wilson continues to surprise and delight. I can't
think of another science fiction writer who understands the
strengths of the genre so well and who works with such confidence
within its elastic boundaries...Wilson never loses sight of the
human angle. His theme is the importance of communication, which,
as his characters come to learn, should never remain one-way."
--"The New York Times"
"A superior SF thriller."
--"Publishers Weekly" (starred review) on "Blind Lake"
"Fizzing with ideas...Intense, absorbing, memorable."
--"Kirkus Reviews" (starred review) on "Blind Lake"
"The steely quiet of "Blind Lake" draws you in like a
magnet...Wilson does not ever raise his voice, which does not mean
he speaks softly. How he speaks is still. In his calm, stony
exile's gaze upon the prisons of the world, and in his measured
adherence to storylines that say that everything may become a
little better with much work, he is the most purely Canadian of all
the writers brought together here, and "Blind Lake" is the finest
Canadian novel of all these."
-John Clute, "Toronto Globe and Mail"
"Reads like a combination of Arthur C. Clarke and Stephen
King."
--"Rocky Mountain News" on "Blind Lake"
"Wilson is a master of character development, comparable to the
late Theodore Sturgeon...This superb novel, combing Wilson's
trademark well-developed characters and fine prose with stunning
high-tech physics, should strongly appeal to connoisseurs of
quality science fiction."
--"Publishers Weekly" (starred review) on "the Chronoliths"
"If you read science fiction for its scientific extrapolations,
then there's much here to satisfy. If, like me, you read the genre
for its examinations of human lives in a crucible, then The
Chronoliths also delivers the goods."
--Nalo Hopkinson, "Quill & Quire" on "the Chronoliths"
