Ian Watson, born 1943, has 40 or 50 books to his credit, mainly SF, including almost a dozen story collections, now available as ebooks through Gollancz´s www.sfgateway.com (except for the 4 lurid psychotic Gothic space operas which he wrote for Games Workshop´s Warhammer 40K universe). Almost a year spent eyeball to eyeball with Stanley Kubrick resulted in screen credit for the Screen Story of A.I. Artificial Intelligence, directed by Steven Spielberg after Kubrick´s death.

Nowadays Ian lives in the north of Spain, with a lively website at www.ianwatson.info

The photo shows him in the ancient library of the University of Salamanca in November 2012.

His most recent novel, in collaboration with Andy West, is The Waters of Destiny in the form of 3 ebooks, Assassins, Tongue of Knowledge, and Death Overflows (see www.watersofdestiny.com) about the true cause of the Black Death.

    A good idea not developed sufficiently to match the strength of the concept.

    The book takes a very long time to build up to a powerful concept, but then doesn't make much of it. It was such a great idea that would have been better if it had been exposed sooner and developed more during the book. Fans of Robert Charles Wilson may find the dystopian near future vision resonates, but this is not developed strongly either.

    No one beats Watson for sheer intellect and smart story-telling. Don't know how I overlooked this one from the writer behind Kubrick/Spielberg's AI - but glad I found it.
