X.HoYen writes realism-based sci fi because you’ll never meet a less magic-minded person, and he’s in his own autistic world anyway. An aerospace engineer and lifetime space nerd, he thinks on scales of time and space ranging from the quantum to the cosmological. As an autistic, Multiracial CPTSD survivor and child of immigrants, he has the widest definition of personhood, and a strong personal emphasis on human nature. He wants to continue the trend of globalizing, de-militarizing, and humanizing realism-based (aka “hard”) sci fi and is happy to leave science fantasy writing to those better equipped for it.
