Christina Dalcher holds a PhD in theoretical linguistics and spent years in academic research before turning to fiction. Her scientific background shows up clearly in her novels, which often explore what happens when governments use language, genetics, or education as tools of control.
Her debut novel Vox imagined a near-future America where women are limited to speaking just 100 words per day. The book drew comparisons to The Handmaid’s Tale and became an international bestseller. She followed it with Master Class, which explored an education system that sorts children based on test scores, and Femlandia, set in a women-only commune after economic collapse.
