Yet, Gould is more likely to give us a character who struggles with these issues than to take the soap box. Gould has, to put it bluntly, a visceral dislike of social injustice, he is never shy to speak his mind and take a clear stance on gender, sexual orientation, race, religion, and economics. On his blog or in fiction, Gould has shown himself to be 'always concerned when disparity in the availability of a technology makes an underclass.' He is an active participant in Worldreader, an organization that, among other things, helps 'to make digital books available to all in the developing world, enabling millions of people to improve their lives.' Gould's stories, novelettes, and novels have been nominated multiple times for Hugo, Nebula, and Prometheus Awards, among others.īorn in Arizona, Gould moved around from military base to military base as a child, was educated in Texas, and now lives in New Mexico among the grand vistas and diverse cultures that enrich 7th Sigma with both a grand perspective and multiple (and very intimate) perspectives. Jumper was made into a successful motion picture in 2008 starring Hayden Christiansen and Samuel L. Perhaps, Gould is best known for the Jumper novels, which include Jumper, Reflex, and Jumper: Griffin's Story. Gould is the author of such novels as Wildside, Greenwar (with Laura J Mixon), Helm, Blind Waves, and the recent 7th Sigma. It is a coming of age science fictional adventure about doing what's right regardless of personal cost. Yet this is no hodge-podge or mis-mash-up.

Frontier survival, nano-technology, drug runners, crooked cops, spies, martial arts, Western landscapes, and a (somewhat) post-apocalyptic setting - Steven Gould's 7th Sigma has the savory ingredients of any number of genres and sub-genres.
