Life
Ken MacLeod was born on August 2, 1954 in Stornoway on the Isle of Lewis in Scotland. He studied zoology at the University of Glasgow. Ken MacLeod is the author of several science fiction novels. He now lives near Edinburgh.
Ken MacLeod is also involved in politics, which sometimes subtly hinted at in his novels, such as when casually book titles are mentioned ( " books on business "), whose author is Karl Marx or the British Trotskyist Tony Cliff. Although the trilogy " Engines of Light" is definitely evident after 1989, there appeared on the Soviet Union. Something non-political jokes are such that the interstellar currency " Taler " or that suddenly a " ancient archaeologist " Erich von Däniken is called. Daring attempt Ken MacLeod is to write in the Engines of Light trilogy an interstellar novel whose plot takes place across the galaxy without the speed of light can be exceeded.
