Timeline

1944

Damien Francis Broderick (born 22 April 1944) is an Australian science fiction and popular science writer and editor of some 74 books.

1980

His science fiction novel The Dreaming Dragons (1980) introduced the trope of the generation time machine, his The Judas Mandala (1982) contains the first appearance of the term "virtual reality" in science fiction, and his 1997 popular science book The Spike was the first to investigate the technological singularity in detail.

Broderick holds a Ph.D. in Literary Studies from Deakin University, Australia, with a dissertation (Frozen Music) comparing the semiotics of scientific, literary, and science fictional textuality.

He was for several years a Senior Fellow in the School of Culture and Communication at the University of Melbourne.

Broderick lives in San Antonio, Texas, with his wife, tax attorney Barbara Lamar.

1995

His commissioned drama Schrödinger's Dog, first broadcast in 1995, was Australia's entry in the Prix Italia; and his novella adaptation of the radio play, published the following year, was selected for Gardner Dozois' Year's Best Science Fiction anthology for that year.

His work has been translated into French, German, Dutch, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Danish, Polish, Czech, Hungarian, Lithuanian, and Russian.

1997

Broderick's best-known works as a futurist and science writer are The Spike (1997; revised 2001), a nonfiction book about the technological singularity; The Last Mortal Generation (1999) on the prospect of radically extended youthful longevity; and Outside the Gates of Science, on the scientific evidence for some anomalous or paranormal phenomena (2007).
