I was born in Mobile, Alabama and grew up in Robertsdale and Fairhope. I received a Bachelor of Science in physics in 1963 from University of Oklahoma, followed by a Master of Science from the University of California in 1965, and a doctorate there in 1967. I am an American science fiction author and astrophysicist who is on the faculty of the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of California, Irvine. I modeled characters in several of my novels after my wife, most prominently the heroine of Artifact. I was also a contributing editor of Reason magazine.
I’m a long-time resident of Laguna Beach, California and I have an identical twin brother who’s collaborated on science fiction stories. We both got our starts in science fiction fandom.
As a science fiction author, I’m perhaps best known for the Galactic Center Saga novels, beginning with In the Ocean of Night (1977). This series postulates a galaxy in which sentient organic life is in constant warfare with sentient electromechanical life.
I wrote the first story about a computer virus.
