Christopher John Chater often uses humor in his stories to illustrate what technology's role in the future might be, 
and to question humankind's place in the universe. His short story "Progenitor" was given Honorable Mention from 
the prestigous Writer's of the Future Contest. He was born in Burbank, California, in 1972, but has lived all over, 
the east coast, the west coast, and the south. He's worked in several industries, a production assistant in the film 
industry, a song plugger in the music industry, and a bartender and butler in the hospitality industry. He now lives 
on the island of Coronado and writes full time.
