The hour-long documentary In the Mind of Robert J. Sawyer premiered on Canadian television on January 8, 2003,[29] and has been shown numerous times since on various channels, including Space: The Imagination Station, for which Sawyer is a frequent commentator.

Style and Themes

Sawyer's style is simple, with clear prose, near the mode of Isaac Asimov. Isaac Asimov (c January 2 1920 &ndash April 6 1992 ˈaɪzək ˈæzɪmʌv originally Исаак Озимов but now transcribed into Russian as, was a Russian [30][24] He also has a tendency to include pop-culture references in his novels (his fondness for the original Star Trek and Planet of the Apes is impossible to miss), and he is unusual even among Canadian SF writers for the blatantly Canadian settings and concerns addressed in his novels, all of which are issued by New York houses. Star Trek is a Science fiction Television series created by Gene Roddenberry that aired from September 8, 1966 through Planet of the Apes is a 1968 Science fiction / thriller film directed by Franklin J

Sawyer's politics are often described as liberal, even by Canadian standards (although he contributed a Hugo Award-nominated story called "The Hand You're Dealt"[31] to the Libertarian SF anthology Free Space, and another called "The Right's Tough"[32] to the Prometheus Award-winning Libertarian SF anthology Visions of Liberty). The Hugo Awards are given every year for the best Science fiction or Fantasy works and achievements of the previous year The Prometheus Award is an award for Libertarian science fiction novels given out annually by the Libertarian Futurist Society which also publishes a quarterly journal He holds citizenship in both Canada and the United States, and has been known to criticize the politics of both countries. He often has American characters visiting Canada (such as Karen Bessarian in Mindscan) or Canadian characters visiting the U. S. (such as Pierre Tardivel in Frameshift and Mary Vaughan in Humans and Hybrids) as a way of comparing and contrasting the perceived values of the two countries.

Sawyer's work frequently explores the intersection between science and religion, with rationalism always winning out over mysticism[28] (see especially Far-Seer, The Terminal Experiment, Calculating God, and the three volumes of the Neanderthal Parallax [Hominids, Humans, and Hybrids], plus the short story "The Abdication of Pope Mary III," originally published in Nature, July 6, 2000). In Epistemology and in its broadest sense rationalism is "any view appealing to Reason as a source of knowledge or justification" (Lacey 286 Mysticism (from the Greek grc μυστικός mystikos, an initiate of a Mystery religion) is the pursuit of communion with identity Far-Seer is a novel written by acclaimed Canadian science fiction author Robert J The Neanderthal Parallax is a trilogy of novels by Robert J Sawyer. He also has a great fondness for paleontology, as evidenced in his Quintaglio Ascension trilogy (Far-Seer, Fossil Hunter, and Foreigner), about an alien world to which dinosaurs from Earth were transplanted, and his time-travel novel End of an Era. The Quintaglio Ascension Trilogy is a series of award-winning novels written by acclaimed Canadian science fiction author In addition, the main character of Calculating God is a paleontologist, and the Neanderthal Parallax novels deal with an alternate version of Earth where Neanderthals did not become extinct.

He often explores the notion of copied or uploaded human consciousness, most fully in his novel Mindscan, but also in Golden Fleece and The Terminal Experiment, plus the Hugo-, Nebula-, and Aurora-award-nominated novella "Identity Theft," its sequel the Aurora-winning short story "Biding Time," and the Hugo- and Aurora-award-nominated short story "Shed Skin. " His interest in quantum physics, and especially quantum computing, inform the short stories "You See But You Do Not Observe"[33] (a Sherlock Holmes pastiche) and "Iterations,"[34] and the novels Factoring Humanity and Hominids. Quantum mechanics is the study of mechanical systems whose dimensions are close to the Atomic scale such as Molecules Atoms Electrons A quantum computer is a device for Computation that makes direct use of distinctively Quantum mechanical Phenomena, such as superposition Sherlock Holmes is a famous fictional detective of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries who first appeared in Publication in 1887 SETI, the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, plays a role in the plots of Golden Fleece, Factoring Humanity, Mindscan, Rollback, the novelette "Ineluctable," and the short stories "You See But You Do Not Observe" and "Flashes. Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence ( SETI) is the collective name for a number of activities to detect intelligent Extraterrestrial life. "

Sawyer gives cosmology a thorough workout in his far-future Starplex. [35] Real-life science institutions are often used as settings by Sawyer, including TRIUMF in End of an Era, CERN in Flashforward, the Royal Ontario Museum in Calculating God, the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory in Hominids and its sequels, and the Arecibo Observatory in Rollback. TRIUMF is Canada’s national laboratory for particle and Nuclear physics located on the University of British Columbia campus in Vancouver The European Organization for Nuclear Research (Organisation Européenne pour la Recherche Nucléaire known as CERN The Royal Ontario Museum, commonly known as the ROM, is a major Museum for world culture and Natural history in the city of Toronto The Sudbury Neutrino Observatory ( SNO) is a Neutrino observatory located 6800 feet (about 2 km underground in Vale Inco 's Creighton Mine The Arecibo Observatory is a very sensitive Radio telescope located approximately south-southwest from the town of Arecibo in Puerto Rico.

Another Sawyer hallmark is the mortally ill main character. Pierre Tardivel in Frameshift suffers from Huntington's disease, Thomas Jericho in Calculating God has lung cancer, and Jacob Sullivan in Mindscan has an arteriovenous malformation in his brain; one of the main characters in Rollback vividly suffers from that most fatal illness of all, old age. Huntington's disease, also called Huntington's chorea, chorea major, or HD, is a genetic neurological disorder characterized after Cerebral arteriovenous malformation Arteriovenous malformation or AVM in the majority of cases is a Congenital disorder consisting of a connection between Sawyer nonetheless is known for tales that end on an upbeat, and even transcendent, note. [36]

SF/Mystery Crossovers

Sawyer's work often crosses over from science fiction to mystery; he won both Canada's top SF award (the Aurora Award) and its top mystery-fiction award (the Arthur Ellis Award) for his 1993 short story "Just Like Old Times. The Prix Aurora Awards are given out annually for the best Canadian Science fiction and Fantasy literary works Art Works and Awards for Fan Activities The Arthur Ellis Awards are a group of Canadian literary awards presented annually by the Crime Writers of Canada for the best Canadian crime and mystery "[37] Illegal Alien is a courtroom drama with an extraterrestrial defendant; Hominids puts one Neanderthal on trial by his peers for the apparent murder of another Neanderthal; Mindscan has the rights of uploaded consciousnesses explored in a Michigan probate court; and Golden Fleece, Fossil Hunter, The Terminal Experiment, Frameshift, and Flashforward are all, in part, murder mysteries. Of Sawyer's shorter SF works, the novella "Identity Theft" and the short stories "Biding Time," "Flashes," "Iterations," "Shed Skin," "The Stanley Cup Caper," "You See But You Do Not Observe," and the aforementioned "Just Like Old Times" are all also crime or mystery fiction.
