Kathy Tyersová

    Deze auteur verkent de ingewikkelde relatie tussen de mensheid en technologische vooruitgang, waarbij ze zich vaak richt op morele dilemma's en de spirituele implicaties van wetenschap. Haar schrijfstijl wordt gekenmerkt door een vloeiende verteltrant en een diepe duik in de psychologie van personages die het onbekende onder ogen zien. Door haar werk tracht ze reflectie op te roepen over de zin van het leven en de plaats van de mensheid in de kosmos. Haar verhalen bieden een boeiende mix van verbeelding en filosofisch onderzoek.
