Life

Wilson was born in 1953 in Whittier in the U.S. state of California, but grew up in Canada near Toronto on. Apart from another short period of time he spent in Whittler early 1970s, he has lived in Canada: a time in Nanaimo, briefly in Vancouver, now with his wife Sharry in Concord, a sleepy suburb of Vaughan, just north of Toronto.

His books have been repeatedly recommended by the New York Times as remarkable ( " Notable Books of the Year" ) and are appreciated by its readers for the differentiated development of the protagonist and the use of very unusual ideas from the field of hard SF.
