Mikko Rauhala is a bilingual Finnish speculative fiction author. Informed by his master’s degree in intelligent systems, he’s most at home in hard science fiction settings, though he’s not exclusive and likes to cross genres. Whether the subject is steam-powered gnomes or universal quantum suicide, Rauhala enjoys taking an eccentric premise and bringing it to its logical conclusion. As befits a Finn, his plot-driven narrative is often seasoned with a touch of dark, dry humor.
