edit data

Arthur Geis writes near-future science fiction thrillers grounded in real science, real institutions, and real consequences.

He holds a Ph.D. in organizational and political sociology and is fascinated by how complex systems—governments, intelligence agencies, and space programs—behave when scientific discovery collides with political pressure.

His debut novel, The Rocket Scientist, explores the discovery of microbial life on Mars and the global race to control a breakthrough that could help reverse Earth’s climate crisis.

Art believes the most compelling science fiction isn’t fantasy—it’s tomorrow’s news.

The Rocket Scientist is available in ebook and paperback, with the audiobook releasing May 2026.
