Linda Nagata (born November 7, 1960, in San Diego, California[1]) is a Hawaii-based American author of speculative fiction, science fiction, and fantasy novels, novellas, and short stories. Her novella Goddesses was the first online publication to win the Nebula Award. She frequently writes in the Nanopunk genre, which features nanotechnology and the integration of advanced computing with the human brain.
Life and career
Nagata was born in San Diego and moved with her family to Oahu, Hawai'i when she was ten years old.[1] She earned a bachelor's degree in zoology from the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa before moving to the island of Maui,[1] where she still lives with her family.[2]
Nagata began writing after graduating from university,[3] and published her first short story in 1987.[1] She now publishes under her independent imprint, Mythic Island Press, LLC., which publishes e-books and trade paperbacks.[3] She is perhaps most recognized for her Nanotech Succession series.
