Robert Clayton is a network architect by trade and a storyteller by heart.

With a career spent designing complex, high-speed, and encrypted networks, he brings a deep understanding of technology’s inner workings to every page he writes.

His science fiction explores the human edge of advanced systems—where artificial intelligence, ethics, and emotion collide. Grounded in curiosity, connection, and a steady supply of coffee, Robert’s stories invite readers to imagine futures both beautiful and unsettling.

He especially enjoys crafting narratives that encourage readers to view technology from unexpected angles—even those that are still emerging or not yet fully understood—challenging them to think deeper and explore the unknown.
