Talib S. Hussain (editor) has been writing speculative poetry and short stories for many years, mostly for his own enjoyment and more recently for sharing with his children. His interest in the scientific future is his day job too, where he has researched machine intelligence, evolved neural networks, and created games to train and assess human performance. http://talibhussain.net.
