Richard Morgan is a critically acclaimed British author renowned for his gripping science fiction narratives that blend high-octane action with profound philosophical inquiries into humanity's future. Born in Glasgow and educated at Cambridge, Morgan honed his storytelling craft through a diverse career that included teaching English abroad and working in the film industry, experiences that infuse his writing with vivid, multicultural perspectives and cinematic intensity. His debut novel, Altered Carbon, catapulted him to international fame, earning nominations for prestigious awards like the Philip K. Dick Award, and establishing him as a master of cyberpunk noir. With a penchant for exploring themes of immortality, corporate dystopias, and the essence of consciousness, Morgan continues to captivate readers worldwide through his richly imagined worlds and morally complex characters. In Woken Furies (Gollancz S.F.), the electrifying conclusion to his Takeshi Kovacs trilogy, he delivers a pulse-pounding tale of rebellion and revenge in a universe where death is just a data transfer away.
