About
MJ Douglas is a science fiction author who blends deeply human issues with futuristic advanced technologies. They’ve written two science fiction works, their debut novel Augmented which is a near-future dystopian set in the Midwest that explores family trauma and the role of AI and augmented reality in society, and Echo, a futuristic GameLit that delves into the realm of uploaded consciousness and the cost of immortality. MJ wants to challenge the way we consider technology’s role in our future, while reminding us that the human condition isn’t going away.
Known for character-driven stories, MJ writes for readers who want a glimpse into the future with characters they fall in love with. As a boundary pusher, MJ’s work includes characters that question reality, come from a variety of identities, and challenge the status quo. Their work blends humor, heart, and immersive world-building that draws readers in and makes them feel at home in the strangest of worlds. MJ is happiest when curled up in their recliner with a cat and a good book.
