S.J. Riccobono is a Los Angeles native whose imagination has been shaped by a lifetime of extraordinary technological change.

He has watched the world move from the early days of television through the personal computer revolution and into an era when artificial intelligence is transforming everyday life. For someone fascinated by science fiction, those changes have provided a seemingly endless source of inspiration.

What particularly interests S.J. is how quickly the boundary between science fiction and reality is disappearing. Technologies that once seemed decades away are becoming familiar, sometimes before society has fully considered their implications.

His novels explore that changing landscape through stories of ambition, discovery, human behavior, and the assumptions people make about the world around them.

In A Piece of the Future and Pretty Intelligence, S.J. brings that fascination to two different fictional worlds, inviting readers to consider not only what technology can do, but what its possibilities reveal about us.

The most compelling stories begin where imagination meets reality; and where the future turns out to be closer than anyone expected.
