Linda Nagata (born November 7, 1960 in San Diego, California[1]) is a Hawaii-based American author of speculative fiction, science fiction, and fantasy novels, novellas, and short stories. Her novella, Goddesses, was the first online publication to win the Nebula Award. She frequently writes in the Nanopunk genre, which features nanotechnology and the integration of advanced computing with the human brain.

Life and career
Nagata's family moved to Oahu, Hawai'i when she was ten years old.[1] She earned a bachelor's degree in zoology from the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa before moving to the island of Maui,[1] where she still lives with her family.[3]
Nagata began writing after graduating from university,[2] and published her first short story in 1987.[1] She now publishes under her independent imprint, Mythic Island Press, LLC., which publishes e-books and trade paperbacks.[2]
Nanopunk
Perhaps most recognized for her Nanotech Succession series, which is considered exemplary of the Nanopunk genre, Nagata's science fiction work has been read in relation to such authors as Kathleen Ann Goonan and Neal Stephenson.[4]
