Clarion West

Ian McDonald reads from his recent work. McDonald's cyberpunk-tinged stories of artificial intelligence, postcolonial ironies, and virtual life and death win him prestigious awards and international acclaim. From Belfast, Ireland, McDonald brings to Seattle the sardonic eye and cutting wit of an outsider living inside the confines of the British empire. He is the 2010 Susan C. Petrey Fellow. Copies of his books will be on sale at the reading, with a signing session to follow.
