INTERVIEW BIO

Nick Sagan As the son of acclaimed astronomer and science populariser Carl Sagan, it was always inevitable that Nick Sagan would have a strong link to space. Aged just six he recorded a greeting for the Golden Record placed aboard both Voyager spacecraft in 1977, should intelligent life come across it they'd hear: “Hello from the children of planet Earth.” As an adult he has written books and screenplays, developed videogames and produced TV specials, most of which are strongly associated with science fiction. His sci-fi novels include Idlewild, Edenborn and Everfree.
