Elizabeth Bear was born on the same say as Frodo and Bilbo Baggins,
but in a different year. This, coupled with her childhood tendency
to read the dictionary for fun, has led inevitably to penury,
intransigence, and the writing of speculative fiction. Her hobbies
include incompetent archery, practicing guitar, and reading
biographies of Elizabethan playmenders.
She is the recipient of the John W. Campbell Award for best New
Writer and the author of over a dozen published or forthcoming
novels, including the Locus Award-winning Jenny Casey trilogy and
the Phillip K. Dick Award-nominated Carnival. A native New
Englander, she spent seven years near Las Vegas, but now lives in
Connecticut with a presumptuous cat.
“Very exciting . . . very impressive debut.”—Mike Resnick
“A gritty and painstakingly well-informed peek at a future we’d all
better hope we don’t get . . . Elizabeth Bear builds her future
nightmare tale with style and conviction and a constant return to
the twists of the human heart.”—Richard Morgan
“Drugs, gangs and internet warfare run rampant . . . [an] ambitious
debut novel.”—Publishers Weekly
