Ian T. Burgess was born in Halifax, Nova Scotia, in 1983 and studied computer science and urban planning at Dalhousie University. After a decade working as a data-center technician and later as a municipal systems analyst in Columbus, Ohio, he began publishing short fiction in small magazines and SF anthologies. His work often explores the friction between public infrastructure and private technology, with a gothic streak inherited from fog-soaked Atlantic coastlines. He lives in Columbus with his partner and a rescued greyhound, and occasionally teaches workshops on speculative worldbuilding at community colleges across the Midwest.
