Hello, I'm Matt Browne. I'm a computer scientist and part-time science fiction writer. My special interests include: space exploration, interstellar travel, robotics and nanotechnology, androids and the technological singularity, biotechnology and cryopreservation, artificial intelligence and natural language processing, extraterrestrial life, extinction level events, supervolcanoes. I'm looking forward to meeting like-minded people around here. I published a science fiction novel called 'The Future Happens Twice' which asks the question: 'Can we send frozen human embryos on an interstellar voyage?'

Imagination.

Title: The Future Happens Twice For decades scientists have dreamed of sending deep-frozen humans on interstellar missions. But until this dream comes true, they must settle for a much simpler technique available: the freezing of human embryos. However, long distance space travel of this nature poses other challenges, none more so than the management of artificial pregnancies and how to raise the children produced. One viable solution comes in the form of advanced biotechnology and highly sophisticated androids, and a large scale project has been implemented to explore these options. To prove that it can really work, the project's scientists go a step further. Somewhere in the Nevada desert and well hidden underground, they conduct an eighteen-year-long experiment using a young starship crew unaware of their true environment. Surrounded by complex simulations, the crew believes they are approaching a distant star system, one that appears to host a planet suitable for colonization
