David J. Williams is an Anglo-American science fiction writer^[1] and video game writer. His debut novel, The Mirrored Heavens, was described as "Tom Clancy interfacing Bruce Sterling" by Stephen Baxter, and is part of the Autumn Rain Trilogy, with a sequel entitled The Burning Skies released in June 2009.

Though Jack Campbell has called Williams' debut novel a "21st century Neuromancer",^[2] others have questioned ^[3] whether Williams' work is in fact cyberpunk. However Williams has responded in interviews that the Autumn Rain trilogy is more of a hybrid spy-thriller and science fiction work than strictly cyberpunk.^[4]

Williams keeps an active blog at his website, and comments on various future weapons, war strategies and terrorism.

Williams is also an alumnus of the Clarion West Writers Workshop which he attended in 2007.^[5]

Video Game Career

Williams is credited with story concept for Relic Entertainment's videogame Homeworld.^[6]
