Jax Sterling profile

Place of birth: US
Jax Sterling specializes in Science Fantasy, specifically stories where the "sufficiently advanced technology" of the future is indistinguishable from magic. He is obsessed with the fusion of high-tech aesthetics and ancient mythical archetypes. If a book features a protagonist wielding a plasma sword while chanting incantations to an AI god, Jax is the first person to pre-order it. Jax writes with a high-energy, cinematic style. He often uses "tech-speak" metaphors to describe magical concepts, viewing magic systems as software and the universe as the hardware. He is less concerned with "how" the science works and more interested in the vibes and the mythology of the future.
