[ ABOUT THE AUTHOR ]

R.C. Zhang is a science fiction author and technologist whose work explores the intersections of artificial intelligence, information theory, and the limits of observation. His debut trilogy, The Silence Archives, spans 1.2 million words across three volumes — The Hidden Swarm, The Resonant Signal, and The Zero-Point Gate — weaving a narrative that moves from a Silicon Valley server room to the heat death of the universe.

Before writing fiction, Zhang worked in software engineering and AI systems. This background informs the trilogy's technical verisimilitude — from the architecture of distributed computing to the mathematics of Bekenstein bounds. The Silence Archives is published simultaneously in English and Traditional Chinese, with translations underway in five additional languages.

Zhang is the founder of Protocol 47 Press, an independent publishing imprint dedicated to pushing the boundaries of what a book can be — from interactive terminal-based narratives to cross-media storytelling. He believes that the future of literature lies at the intersection of engineering and art. He is a member of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association (SFWA).
