Anton Troia was a former Emergency Medical Technician, and studied electronic engineering at DeVry University. He was born and raised in New York City, where he still lives with his two audacious dogs. Anton always found NYC to be a strange place, but he hopes that will change someday. Anton's stories warn about the potential dangers of technological progress, with themes centered around the ongoing tug of war between science and ethics. Anton's futuristic settings are usually dominated by monopolistic corporations, authoritarian governments, and scientific dictatorships. Anton's themes veer into the paranormal elements as well and he has a knack for seamlessly weaving historical fact and mythology. His thematic focus strongly reflects his personal interest in the paranormal, metaphysics, parapsychology, and most of all, theology. Anton’s prose, with his lingering use of adjectives, has a very pleasing ‘pulp’ style that is evocative of classical golden-age Sci-Fi mixed with Victorian horror literature.
