Neal Asher
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Neal Asher (b. 1961 in Billericay in Essex, England) is an English science fiction writer.
Neal Asher's work encompasses many classic science fiction tropes including world-ruling artificial intelligences, androids, hive minds, aliens and time travel. His novels are characterised by fast paced action and violent encounters. While the work is frequently epic in scope and thus nominally space opera, its graphic and aggressive tone resembles something more akin to cyberpunk.
He is published by Tor Books in USA.
