About Vera Blackwell
Vera Blackwell writes tech thrillers and speculative fiction about digital identity, consciousness, and the things that make us human when the hardware is stripped away. Her work is sharp, fast, and unsettling in the way that the best near-future fiction should be. She has published two novels: Almost Human, about an android navigating a world that fears what it cannot classify, and How To Delete A Soul, about a hacker who builds an AI from her dead brother's data and discovers it might be more than a copy.
