About the Author:
Stephen Oram writes thought provoking stories that mix
science fiction with social comment, mainly in a recognisable near-future. He
is the Author in Residence at Virtual Futures', once described as the
'Glastonbury of cyberculture'. He has collaborated with scientists and
future-tech people to write short stories that create debate about potential
futures, most recently with the Human Brain Project and Bristol Robotics
Laboratory as part of the Bristol Literature Festival.
As a teenager he was heavily influenced by the ethos of punk.
In his early twenties he embraced the squatter scene and was part of a
religious cult, briefly. He did some computer stuff in what became London's
silicon roundabout and is now a civil servant with a gentle attraction to
anarchism.
He has two published novels - Quantum Confessions and Fluence
- and several shorter pieces.
