About me

I'm KN Tristan – dystopian author and the curator behind Best Dystopian Books

I’ve been obsessed with the genre since 1998, published my first book in 2016, and built this platform because dystopian fiction isn’t escapism — it’s pattern recognition. The Glassborn Chronicles is my Mars-set, AI-controlled, morally complicated love letter to everything the genre can do.
