Nathan Battams is a student of the Professional Writing program at Algonquin College and a graduate of Carleton University (B.A. with High Honours, Political Science and History).

A restless blend of technophile and Luddite, clownish neurotic and reluctant existentialist, he now lives underground on a quiet street in Centretown. There, he finds solace by writing, reading about space and recording strange, inaccessible music. He loves science, loathes jockdom, and feels utterly indifferent toward horse racing.
