(? - ) Australian screenwriter, journalist and author, mostly in US, initially of interest for his creator/producer role in the Television series Dracula (2013 10 episodes), showrunner Daniel Knauf. He is of stronger sf interest for his first novel, Psalms for the End of the World (2022), which is set in various venues – from a 1960s California where reality seems as porous as in a Philip K Dick tale located in that disintegrative state, to life in the relatively sane Mayan civilization centuries early, to an astronaut in orbit around a tortured Earth – subjects its protagonists and eras to something like quantum entanglement (see Time Paradoxes). It is not clear whether or not, as in somewhat similar work by David Mitchell, a Secret Master or masters can be conceived of as conducting the game. [JC]
