The Gigantophobics are afraid of power, even if it is for their own good. And the Megalomaniacs are the alter egos of the author. His addiction to improve the world he lives out (fortunately) only in his phantasy but (unfortunately) he cannot – due to lack of time, talent and training – pour into (recognized) literary forms. Thus, he invented a new genre, the Science Fiction Extract. This forms the core, the essence, the concept of future novels and short stories. To read them is not easy like to digest a can of condensed milk. Nevertheless, whoever likes hardcore science fiction and is not seeking just for shallow entertainment, will like his ideas, thoughts, and logical inferences.
And perhaps one day a real writer could appear who infuses the extracts with water, dialogues, character illustrations and plot details. Alternatively, the author enrolls for Literature after his retirement and becomes a writer himself.
Andy S. Falkner is of course a pseudonym. So much can be told about the author that he is a mathematician and full time university professor for Computer Science. He has published mainly textbooks and articles in several languages. His Science Fiction Extracts have been published in his mother tongue, in German and in other languages (in his own translation) as printed and as electronic books.
He has been married for over 30 years and they have four adult children. As a former atheist/Marxist he lives today as a confessing believer. His philosophy of life, harmonized with his scientific insights, is reflected repeatedly in his writings.
