About the author
Arthur N. Chester
27 booksArthur N. (A.N.) Chester is retired President of HRL Laboratories, Malibu, California and former co-director of the International School of Quantum Electronics in Erice, Sicily.
I write in three worlds:
- Nonfiction as Arthur N. Chester. This work consists of technical articles and books like the ones listed in my author profile. These are mainly of interest to specialists in laser technology and technology management.
- Fiction as Art Chester and my pen name Urno Barthel. My short stories and mysteries explore life in the research lab -- the personalities, the romances, the secrets inside the “ivory tower” where new technology is created.
- Science for Nonscientists as Art Chester on my website https://artchester.net. I look at the facts behind science headlines, and I also speculate about what the work means, where it will lead us.
I write both fiction and nonfiction because I've been able to see technology and science from two perspectives: as an insider -- a researcher, a manager, a president of a research lab; and as an outsider -- a person who reads the news and says, what the heck is going on here? Because a scientist, looking at technology outside his own field, is just one more person trying to make sense out of confusing and complicated information.
