| Introduction | In science fiction circles, Bruce Bethke is best known either for his 1980 short story, <b>“Cyberpunk,”</b> his 1995 Philip K. Dick Award-winning novel, <b>HEADCRASH</b>, or lately, as the editor and publisher of <i>Stupefying Stories</i> magazine. What very few people in the SF world have known about him until recently is that he actually began his career in the music industry, as a member of the design team that developed the MIDI interface and the Finale music notation engine (among other things), but spent most of his career working in supercomputer software R&D, doing work that was absolutely fascinating to do but nearly impossible to explain to anyone not already fluent in Old High Unix and well-grounded in massively parallel processor architectures, Fourier transformations, and computational fluid dynamics.<br> <br> Now retired, he runs Rampant Loon Press, just for the sheer love of genre fiction and the short story form.<br> <br> If you’re looking for Bruce’s blog, you’ll find it at stupefyingstories.blogspot.com. |
