Erzebet Carmean writes Gothic science fiction novels. Her books explore the experience of being a woman in a society where technology outpaces ethics. Erzsebet does not believe there is “bad” science or “evil” technology: it is the <em>human</em> application and intent that is either good or bad. As a reader, you can expect to be emotionally invested in unexpected heroines, unsettled by the plot, and absorbed in an atmosphere of Gothic dread.<br><br>Erzsebet does <strong>not </strong>use AI to write her novels, newsletters or blog posts.<br><br>Erzsebet holds degrees in physics and philosophy, which she put to use as a software engineer at companies ranging from global powerhouses to scrappy startups. She lives in Virginia with my husband and a pack of wild (ghost) dogs. Authors that inspire her include Shirley Jackson, Samuel R. Delany, Stanislaw Lem, Daphne du Maurier, and Elizabeth Gaskell.<br><br>Erzsebet is pronounced <strong>AIR</strong>-za-bet.
