Overview: Ian McDonald was born on March 31, 1960 in Manchester, England to an Irish mother and a Scottish father. He moved with his family to Belfast when he was five and has lived there ever since. He lived through the whole of the ‘Troubles’ (1968–1999), and his sensibility has been permanently shaped by coming to understand Northern Ireland as a post-colonial society imposed on an older culture.
McDonald began publishing fiction with “The Islands of the Dead” for the April/May 1982 issue of Extro. His themes include nanotechnology, postcyberpunk settings, and the impact of rapid social and technological change on non-Western societies. McDonald’s debut novel was Desolation Road, published in 1988, which takes place on a far future Mars in a town that develops around an oasis in the terraformed Martian desert. He has also worked in TV consultancy within Northern Ireland, contributing scripts to the Northern Irish Sesame Workshop production of Sesame Tree.
