Portrait

Thomas More

Thomas More has always been fascinated by Native American culture. As he immersed himself in thoroughly researching the Indigenous people of North America, he discovered that there were very few sci-fi novels featuring people of these cultures as protagonists, and none at all about the original inhabitants of the island of Manhattan. Thus, the idea for the Mannahatta Series was born. Thomas More's favorite genre is science fiction, followed closely by fantasy. He has read hundreds of sci-fi novels and short stories and has spent hours and hours watching movies and television shows in this genre.

He holds an advanced degree in English with an emphasis in Creative Writing. Although college-educated in the art, craft, and labor of writing novels, he is self-taught when it comes to science fiction and its associated tropes, its readers, and the best of its writers. His favorite pastime is going for long motorcycle rides on city streets, country roads, and beaches (where allowed, of course!).

Sample chapters and short stories from his first book are available on the thomasmorewriter site - and you can also search there for information about Native American culture and causes, in addition to a Lenape glossary and the Mannahatta soundtrack.

Schwer zu lesen und zu verdauen. Dennoch ein wichtiges Buch
LovelyBooks-BewertungVon F__67 am 05.02.2025
Ich hatte mir persönlich etwas mehr erhofft.In weiten Teilen gleicht der Erzählstil einfachen Aufzählungen statt spannender Formulierungen. Die Beschreibungen von Utopia sind im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes utopisch; eine abschließende kritische Einordnung oder ein Diskurs zwischen dem Erzähler (Raphael) und Morus findet nicht statt, obwohl gerade dieser meiner Meinung nach richtig interessant gewesen wäre.
