Crépuscule d'acier

Born in Leeds, England, Charles Stross knew he wanted to be a science fiction writer from the age of six. Despite this, he went to university in London and qualified as a Pharmacist. He made his first writing sale to Interzone in 1986, and sold about a dozen stories elsewhere throughout the late 1980s and early 1990s. He now writes fiction full-time, has sold about 16 novels, has won one Hugo award and been nominated nearly a dozen times, and has been translated into about a dozen languages. He is the author of the Merchant Princes series. His latest book, The Revolution Business, is the fifth in this series. He lives in Edinburgh, Scotland, with his wife Feorag. Né à Leeds en 1964, Charles Stross a étudié les sciences de l'informatique et la pharmacie. Sa première nouvelle, The Boys, paraît dans Interzone en 1987. Il a écrit depuis de nombreuses nouvelles et plusieurs romans, dont Le Bureau des atrocités, Jennifer Morgue et le cycle des Princes-Marchands. Son nom est associé à la nouvelle vague d'écrivains de science-fiction britanniques qui explorent principalement la hard science et le space opera. Il est aussi réputé pour son humour.
