About the work
Curious about people, even when the premise gets strange.
Harrison Napier writes fiction at the intersection of technology and humanity. The systems may be new. The choices are recognizably human.
The story is never really about the machine.
Harrison’s work moves through science fiction, speculative fiction, thrillers, drama, romance, humor, and intimate human stories. What connects it is an interest in how ordinary people make sense of extraordinary circumstances.
His lifelong background in mathematics, computer science, data, technology, and artificial intelligence brings an analytical curiosity to the page. But facts and systems are only the pressure around a story. The people inside it are the point.
