Steven Charles Gould (born February 7, 1955) is an American science fiction author. His novels tend to have protagonists fighting to rid government of corrupt antagonists (with Greenwar being a bit of an exception). The struggle against corruption is the focus, rather than the technology. He is married to science fiction writer Laura J. Mixon.
