About CGSocietyThrough a combination of online activities and publishing (Ballistic Publishing division), the CGSociety has become de-facto face of the global digital arts industry. Now it's possible for us to approach absolutely anyone in our field knowing they will want to participate. However, we want to do more. We want to reach outside our own community, into related creative communities, such as writers. With this in mind, we invited two of the world's leading Science Fiction writers in this challenge - and they were delighted to participate.
About EON
Originally published in 1985, EON stands as one of the great science fiction novels of our time and remains one of Greg Bear's best selling titles. It is truly vast in scope. Entrants were allowed to create their work based on any part of EON. Greg kindly gave us permission to publish a significant number of excerpts from the book to aid people not familiar with EON.
The Writers
Greg Bear and David Brin are two of the world's leading Science Fiction writers with a great many Hugo and Nebula awards between them. If you're a science fiction fan then you'll already be familiar with their names. They have both been hugely successful. but this also created a problem as most of their books are optioned for films. It was too difficult to use optioned works on short notice. However, Greg's blockbuster novel EON was available as a theme.
