Mikko Rauhala is a bilingual Finnish science fiction author. He often writes his stories in both languages, which can get frustrating when there's no one else to blame for the occasional dual meanings.Informed by his master's degree in intelligent systems, he's most at home in hard science fiction settings, though he's not exclusive and likes to cross genres. Whether the subject is steam powered gnomes or universal quantum suicide, Rauhala enjoys taking an eccentric premise and bringing it to its logical conclusion. As befits a Finn, his plot-driven narrative is often seasoned with a touch of dark, dry humor.Rauhala's Finnish short fiction has been published in collections and other media, and he has a national Atorox award nomination to show for it. His English credits include coauthoring Infinite Metropolis (Aurelia Leo, 2020) and "Rekindled" in Best Vegan SFF of 2020 (Metaphorosis, 2021).
