Raven’s Gift

Tobias D. Robison was born to be taxed without representation in Washington D.C, and he graduated with distinction from Columbia College without learning to write. After a lifetime of crafting non-fiction, he moved effortlessly into the fictional universe in 2006. Robison (not Robinson!) has the distinction of having designed one of the earliest RISC architectures that was used commercially, during a career of software development that has seen the cost of a memory bit drop from ＄0.10 to ＄0.0000000000125. Robison’s writing is heavily influenced by classical music, sculpture, painting and other unlikely sources. He writes as if always aware that today’s writerly maxims were not yesterday’s, and will not be tomorrow’s.
