Karen Burnham works as a physicist and engineer at NASA's Johnson Space Center.
"Greg Egan is one of the most fascinating and challenging of modern
science fiction writers, and Burnham--an engineer and physicist as
well as a science fiction critic--brings exactly the needed
combination of skills to bear on his fiction, which can range from
the densely theoretical to the intensely humanistic. The book ends
with the most cogent and forthcoming interview with Egan that I've
seen."--Gary K. Wolfe, author of Evaporating Genres: Essays on
Fantastic Literature
"Burnham’s study is interesting because it is written with sympathy
for Egan’s artistic and intellectual agenda by a critic who is also
a working scientist. . . . Burnham’s praise for Egan’s work is
heartfelt without ignoring those areas in which his sheer
cold-heartedness makes him problematic.”—Times Literary Supplement
