Losers in Space, page 34
This is JOHN BARNES’s thirtieth published book, including two books coauthored with astronaut Buzz Aldrin. Most of his work has been science fiction, but he has also written a number of nonfiction articles, including more than fifty in the Oxford Encyclopedia of Theatre and Performance. His (non-science fiction) novel Tales of the Madman Underground was a 2010 Michael L. Printz Honor Book.
At various times he has been paid to teach college classes in English, mathematics, theater, economics, speech, political science, and communications; design stage scenery and lighting; draw weather maps; work setups and tear-downs for a company that decorates building lobbies; write ad copy, political speeches, software reviews, blogs, and computer manuals; analyze poll data, employee satisfaction surveys, marketing research data, and social media metrics; copyedit a small city magazine; and travel a three-state territory as a sales rep. His parents always said he’d never be able to hold a steady job.
John Barnes lives in Colorado.
