David Zindell (born November 28, 1952) is an American writer known for science fiction and fantasy epics. He was born in Toledo, Ohio, and resides today in Boulder, Colorado; he received a BA degree in mathematics and minored in anthropology at the University of Colorado at Boulder.〔Charles N. Brown. ("David Zindell: Back to Roots" ) (excerpt), ''Locus'' 44:6, No. 473 (June 2000). Retrieved 2000-09-07.〕〔(Seekers of the Ineffable Flame - Zindell biography )〕 His first published story was "The Dreamer's Sleep" in ''Fantasy Book'' in 1984; his novelette ''Shanidar'', which formed the core of his first novel ''Neverness'', won the Writers of the Future Contest in 1985.〔Clute, John: ''The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction'', page 1368. Orbit, 1993〕 David Zindell's writing style is at once romantic, heroic, deeply poetic and concerns itself with deep philosophical issues in the human psyche. He was nominated for the John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer in 1986. John Clute writes that the author of ''Neverness'' is "romantic, ambitious, and skilled.",〔 and Gene Wolfe, who is connected with Zindell in a way Wolfe himself was with Jack Vance, described Zindell as "...one of the finest talents to appear since Kim Stanley Robinson and William Gibson — perhaps the finest."〔(David Zindell )〕 In the series started by ''Neverness'', David Zindell probes the nature of future humanity in "an extremely ambitious tale...The young protagonist has all the necessary complexity and drivenness to occupy centre-stage 'cosmogony opera'."〔 His fantasy series, ''The Ea Cycle'' has as a theme the evolution of consciousness, through the MO of sword-and-sorcery. == Publications ==
