About

Daniel Verastiqui is a science fiction author, freelance writer, and technology professional from Austin, Texas. He studied Computer Science at UT Austin before finishing a degree in English, and has spent the two decades since keeping enterprise technology running—which turns out to be excellent preparation for writing fiction about technology running amok. His Vinestead Anthology is a shared cyberpunk universe where technology and identity intertwine in violent and unpredictable ways. He reads Gibson, PKD, and Stephenson, will recommend Ken Grimwood's Replay to anyone who stands still long enough, and maintains that music peaked before Metallica cut their hair.
