de BODARD, Aliette
Aliette de Bodard is a Computer Engineer who moonlights as a speculative fiction writer in her spare time. She graduated in 2007 from Ecole Polytechnique, one of France’s top engineering schools, and went on to find a job which involved two of her loves, mathematics and programming computers.
She was already writing science fiction and fantasy short stories during her studies, though it took her a few years to get them published. She won Second Place in Writers of the Future in 2006.
Her work has appeared or is forthcoming in places such as Interzone, Black Static, and Orson Scott Card’s Intergalactic Medicine Show. She currently lives in Paris…
Half-French and half-Vietnamese, Aliette has a special interest in non-Western cultures, particularly Asia and Precolumbian America.
