Hayashi, William
Entry updated 2 June 2025. Tagged: Author.
(1955-2024) US IT worker, screenwriter, broadcaster and author who was known in the last of these capacities for the Darkside Trilogy beginning with Discovery (2009), which describes the discovery of an African-American colony that has been living on the other side of the Moon since before the first official US Moon landing. Part Pariah Elite, part Secret Masters, they have developed advanced science and Technology in secret. It was to be expected that as the series continued they would in some significant fashion come to represent Homo sapiens to the galaxies at large; but projected volumes beyond the initial three did not appear. The Archangel-X Trilogy in Space Opera mode similarly saw two volumes – Quarantine (2020) and Enmity (2021) – but not a third.
Hayashi also hosted the podcast The Genesis Science Fiction Radio Series, which discussed sf from a Black perspective [see links below]. [JC/DRL]
