Karl Schroeder (/ˈʃreɪdər/) (born September 4, 1962) is a Canadian science fiction author and a professional futurist. His novels present far-future speculations on topics such as nanotechnology, terraforming, augmented reality, and interstellar travel, and are deeply philosophical. More recently he also focuses on near-future topics.[1] Several of his short stories feature the character Gennady Malianov.
