Wayne Runde

Wayne writes near-future science fiction about conscience, technology, and power. The Genesis Trust trilogy spans more than a century—from a hidden research enclave in 1955 to a 21st-century contest over memory and meaning—while the companion Genesis Trials card game turns Atlantan ethics and tech into fast tactical play for 2–4 players.

His work leans on clear lines of cause and effect, worldbuilding that serves character choices, and the question that undergirds the series: how do we keep discovery honest and humane?
