Stephen Euin Cobb is a Hard SF author, futurist and the host of the award-winning podcast "The Future And You." He is also an artist, essayist and transhumanist.
As host of "The Future And You," a two hour long podcast, he interviews authors, celebrities, scientists and "pioneers of the future" as to what they believe both the near future and distant future will be like. On December 1, 2006 this podcast teamed with Jim Baen's Universe in an effort to provide more and better content to the patrons of both.
Bones Burnt Black (2004) is his most widely read novel, and is being serialized as an audio book within each episode of his podcast. His essays generally deal with the future or with science.
He has invented several games, the best known being Death Stacks, for which there is an annual tournament in Charlotte, North Carolina. He also invented the Ignorance Index, an empirical rating system for radio and television talk shows.
His hobbies include: astronomy (he has a 10.1 inch Dobsonian telescope), handwriting analysis and drawing in charcoal and pastels. He also collects fossils, original artwork and autographed books.
Born in Orangeburg, South Carolina; he spent his childhood in Forest Park, Illinois (a suburb of Chicago); and now lives in South Carolina.
