edit data

At age sixteen, Jayson dreamed of starting a software company and retiring by twenty-five. He achieved his dream just before thirty, working for the likes of Steve Jobs and selling one of his start-ups along the way. Five years later, he returned to computers with another start-up. He currently works at Google.

Computers were always Jayson’s creative outlet, the screen a “blank slate.” He now channels his creative energies into writing compelling science fiction.

Jayson Adams answered Diedre Adams's question: Why such a grim portrayal of Space Force? I am not a fan of them by any means, but in Ares they are portrayed as brutal, self serving, etc. This answer contains spoilers… (view spoiler)
