Adam Roberts

Adam Roberts ist ein britischer Akademiker, Kritiker und Romanautor, der 1965 geboren wurde. Er hat zahlreiche Werke in den Genres Science-Fiction und spekulative Literatur veröffentlicht und erhielt viel Kritikerlob für Romane wie "Salt" und "Gradisil", die beide für den Arthur C. Clarke Award nominiert waren. Neben seiner originären Belletristik schreibt Roberts unter Pseudonymen wie A.R.R.R. Roberts, A3R Roberts und Don Brine auch Parodien.

Roberts hat einen Abschluss in Englisch von der University of Aberdeen und einen Doktortitel der Cambridge University, wo er sich auf Robert Browning und die Klassik spezialisierte. Er unterrichtet englische Literatur und kreatives Schreiben am Royal Holloway der University of London und verbindet dabei seine akademische Expertise mit seinem literarischen Schaffen. Seine Werke erforschen oft komplexe Themen durch eine spekulative Linse, was sein tiefes Engagement für literarische und kulturelle Studien widerspiegelt. Neben seinen Romanen trägt Roberts durch seinen Blog bei The Valve zum literarischen Diskurs bei, einer Plattform für Literatur- und Kulturanalyse.
