About the Author
Rich Larson was born in West Africa, has studied in Rhode Island and worked in Spain, and now writes from Ottawa, Canada. His award-winning short fiction has been translated into Chinese, Vietnamese, Polish, French, and Italian, and appears in numerous Year's Best anthologies.
*A selection of the Science Fiction Book Club*
“Larson is one of the best new writers to enter science fiction in
more than a decade. His stories are always exciting, inventive,
evocative, and sometimes profound.”—Gardner Dozois, The Year’s Best
Science Fiction
“One of the most exciting and prolific science fiction and fantasy
writers working today. His range—and of course his talent—is
remarkable.” —John Joseph Adams, The Best American Science Fiction
and Fantasy
“Every now and then the science fiction field sees the arrival of a
startling new talent. Rich Larson is just that. A writer of
powerful, perceptive stories that stand with the best. Tomorrow
Factory dazzles with smart, sharp, insightful stories, and belongs
on your bookshelf. One of the books of the year.”—Jonathan Strahan,
The Best Science Fiction and Fantasy of the Year
"Rich Larson's stories crackle with energy and imagination and I'm
only a little jealous—signed, the 3rd most prolific short fiction
author of 2016."—Nebula Award-winning author Sarah Pinsker
“Powerful, thought-provoking, and filled with little moments of
humanity that makes his stories resonate, Rich Larson’s debut
collection should be required reading for modern science fiction
fans.”—Jason Sizemore, editor-in-chief, Apex Magazine
“The most impressive new short fiction writer in science fiction
and fantasy over the last few years, bringing to mind writers like
Robert Silverberg and Robert Reed. Tomorrow Factory is a first-rate
introduction: fast-moving, affecting, driving, and powerful.”—Rich
Horton, The Year’s Best Science Fiction & Fantasy"
“Rich Larson writes sharp, ambitious fiction that I can't forget.
Tomorrow Factory is a fantastic chance to see him at his
best.”—Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author Kij Johnson
“Enjoyably twisty SF tales with an ample serving of weird tech (and
the way it distorts the people who use it). I’ll be looking out for
more from Rich Larson.” —Neal Asher, author of Dark Intelligence
and The Soldier
“Twenty-three stories that make a case for [Larson’s] reputation as
one of the most promising young writers in genre today.”—B&N
Sci-Fi and Fantasy Blog
“A remarkable collection of stories by a highly original
writer.”—Booklist
“A provocative collection of 23 strange futures . . . [Larson’s]
colorful settings create strong backdrops for characters striving
for goals small and large. This vibrant collection will give
thoughtful readers plenty of entertainment.” —Publishers Weekly
“Stories of growl, attack and bite — sentences muscular with taut
language, sinewed with concision and outsider sensibility. Tomorrow
Factory is all that SFF is capable of, all that it hopes to be —
and more."—Ian McDonald, author of Luna: New Moon
“Larson has honed his talent playing with reality. Frequently, if
I’m not too disturbed after reading one of Rich’s tales, I find I’m
left, like Finch at the conclusion to ‘An Evening with Severyn
Grimes,’ with ‘the ghost of a smile on my face.’ It’s an experience
I highly recommend.”—Sheila Williams, Asimov’s Science Fiction
Magazine
“Tomorrow Factory is sharp, perceptive, and immensely entertaining.
Rich Larson is science fiction’s most impressive new voice for
short stories.” —Rick Wilber, author of Alien Morning
