Owens, Clarke
Entry updated 27 February 2023. Tagged: Author.
(1951- ) US author whose nonfiction work consists mostly of Christian apologetics, including Son of Yahweh: The Gospels as Novels (2013). Two of his novels are of sf interest: 600ppm: A Novel of Climate Change (2015), set in a Dystopian Near Future America where an alliance of profit-hungry corporations and a supine government has shut down any discussion of or research into Climate Change; and Isak AI (2022), the eponym being an AI burdened with the capacity to learn from input, and self-directed towards taking action to preserve itself and Homo sapiens as the planet continues to become more unlivable.
