Rick Sutcliffe is a husband (to Joyce) father, and grandfather. He is Professor of Computing Science and Mathematics at Canada's Trinity Western University, a Christian liberal arts school consistently ranked #1 in the country by its students. His academic interests are in discrete mathematics and programming language design, and he is co-author of the Modula-2 R10 language. He speaks and writes on technology, social, and ethical issues, including The Northern Spy, a syndicated technology column started in 1983. He is the author of two textbooks--one on computer programming, the other on ethical and social issues in technology. When he isn't doing one or more of these, he spends time with grandchildren, and on photography gardening, and philately.
His award winning series of novels are Christian Science Fiction with an Irish flavour (alternate history)--stories of other earths, other technologies, and the societies and ethical systems that derive from and in turn influence technology choices.
