Entry updated 12 September 2022. Tagged: Author.
(1973- ) US author and games designer working for CCP Games in Reykjavik, Iceland, creators of the EVE Online (2003) multi-player Space Sim game. Having written two on-line novellas using the game's far-future galactic background, Gonzalez made his novel debut with EVE: The Empyrean Age (2008), vigorously deploying many stock sf devices (including Amnesia) in its depiction of the brewing and waging of Future War between the four major game factions. Set in an independent universe, The Tabit Genesis (2015) depicts, in a narrative shot through with action-oriented set pieces, a fight for survival by Homo sapiens on several colonized planets long after Earth itself has died.
