A.A. Attanasio (born Alfred Angelo Attanasio) is an American author who has been writing science fiction and fantasy since the mid-1970s. He first gained attention with Radix (1981), a Nebula Award-nominated novel that kicked off a four-book sequence spanning billions of years and exploring the evolution of consciousness. His work blends hard science fiction ideas with lyrical, sometimes experimental prose.
Beyond the Radix series, Attanasio wrote the Arthor tetralogy, a retelling of the Arthurian legends through a fantasy lens, beginning with The Dragon and the Unicorn (1994). He also penned the Dominions of Irth trilogy and contributed extensively to The Crow shared universe with numerous tie-in novels. His standalone works include Wyvern (1988) and Kingdom of the Grail (1992), both of which show his range across historical fiction and adventure.
