Michael Flynn


(Michael Francis Flynn)
USA flag (1947 - 2023)

Michael Flynn, sometimes published as Michael F. Flynn, worked full time as a statistician and wrote science fiction as a sideline. Nearly all of Flynn's work falls under the category of hard science fiction, although his treatment of it can be unusual since he has applied the rigor of hard science fiction to "softer" sciences such as sociology in works such as In the Country of the Blind. Much of his short fiction appeared in Analog Science Fiction and Fact.
