Why I write: I write fiction because I believe it is the best way to convey one’s experience to the world at large. In ancient cultures like the Vikings or the American Indians, who did not have a written language, both their history and cultural experience traveled through the generations in the form of stories. These stories were the collective experience of their culture. And so today, after my 72 years on earth, having been an immigrant of sorts, a member of a minority in the United States, and a technologist for most of my life, I feel I have an experience to share. An experience intimately connected with the evolution of this American culture as it has journeyed through civil rights, almost constant war, and through the greatest technological upheaval in human history. I have written two novels and a book of short stories that, through the eyes of the characters that I have created, express my deepest thoughts about the nature of the problems we grapple with today and in the future. In plunging the reader into a world with the many dysfunctions of our own, I hope to add my experience to our collective in a way that resonates and enlightens.
