Robert J. Sawyer—“the dean of Canadian science fiction,” according to both the CBC and The Ottawa Citizen—is the only Canadian to have won all three of the world’s top awards for best science-fiction novel the year: the Hugo, the Nebula, and the John W. Campbell Memorial Award. Rob has also won more Canadian Science Fiction and Fantasy Awards (“Auroras”) than any one else in history, and he was a guest of honour at the 2023 World Science Fiction Convention (the Worldcon).
A member of both The Order of Canada and The Order of Ontario, Rob’s 25 bestselling novels include Quantum Night (long-listed for Canada Reads), FlashForward (basis for the ABC TV series), and his latest, The Downloaded. Website: sfwriter.com.
