Andrew Clark

Participe à 6 sessions

From his lair high in the Santa Cruz Mountains, Andrew Clark has been looking forward to people making up their minds whether to embrace utopia or dystopia, and being ready either way. Since advances in coffee brewing technology made his MA in Social Ecology obsolete, he now makes carbon based life forms adapt to the silicon expectations of their self selected overlords. A long time attendee of BayCon, Andrew is a particular fan of Heinlein, Bujold, S.M. Stirling and C.J. Cherryh.
