Robert J. Sawyer

Robert J. Sawyer (born April 29, 1960) is a Canadian science fiction writer, dubbed "the dean of Canadian science fiction" by the Ottawa Citizen in 1999. He describes himself as a "hard science-fiction writer", but he is more concerned with characterization and human psychology than many other practitioners of that subgenre. His work often delves into metaphysics, à la Arthur C. Clarke, and philosophy; he very much comes from the school that says science fiction is the literature of ideas.
