Robert Sawyer

Radio and Television ’82

Robert Sawyer was still a Ryerson student when he sold his first science fiction story in 1979. He has since published more than a dozen science fiction novels, including The Terminal Experiment, which won the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America's Nebula Award for Best Novel of 1995. He has also won the top science fiction awards in Canada, France, Spain, and Japan. His novels Starplex, Frameshift, Factoring Humanity, and Calculating God were all finalists for the Hugo, science fiction's international people's choice award. "By any reckoning, Sawyer is among the most successful Canadian authors ever," says Maclean's.
