Meredith, Douglas D.: - Douglas D. Meredith is a software developer living on planet Earth with his wife and two daughters. Like any parent, he spends much of his time thinking about the future his kids will live in. Noting the predominance of dystopian fiction and magical fantasy in books for young readers, he decided to write an optimistic, near-future, hard science fiction series for kids. Generation Mars is the ongoing result. He writes recreationally, for now.
