Sylvain Neuvel

Sylvain Neuvel is a Canadian author of science fiction novels. After dropping out of high school at age 15, Sylvain has worked as a journalist, worked in soil decontamination, sold ice cream in California and sold furniture across Canada. He earned his Ph.D in linguistics from the University of Chicago, and went onto teach linguistics in India. Sylvain likes to play with objects, has an interest in robotics and is a Halloween enthusiast. He loves toys, so he writes about aliens and giant robots as an excuse to build action figures (which are, of course, for his son).
