After 15 years in particle physics re¬search and as a physics professor, Ransom gave up a tenured gig to become the Director of Advanced Technology at a wireless web startup. In addition to writing novels, he's now a Silicon Valley consultant who writes about and teaches engineers the physics they need to design your gadgets. Ransom is also a cussing, beer-swilling Raider fan. He lives in Petaluma, California, where he's working on another novel and still trying to play the guitar.
