Bill DeSmedt has spent his life living by his wits and his words. In his time, and as the spirit has moved him, he’s been: a Soviet Area expert and Soviet exchange student, a computer programmer and system designer, a consultant to startups and the Fortune 500, an Artificial Intelligence researcher, an omnivorous reader with a soft spot for science fiction and science non-fiction, and now, Lord help us, a novelist!
Bill's first novel, SINGULARITY (2004), won Foreword Magazine's Book of the Year Award for Science Fiction and the Independent Publisher Group's IPPY for Best Science Fiction. The free podcast of SINGULARITY, available on the web at Podiobooks.com, has gone on to be named an SFFaudio Essential, while SINGULARITY itself has evolved into the first of the "Archon Sequence" of loosely related technothrillers, followed by DUALISM (2014) and the forthcoming TRIPLOIDY.
