Hello, World (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780991008810)

Steven Parton was born and raised in a small town in rural Ohio. With little variation in the stories told by the vast cornfields that surrounded him, he used the stories held within literature, film, and video games to fuel his imagination instead. His fascination with the human condition and technology eventually led him to study Computer Science at University, where he simultaneously cultivated a healthy obsession with psychology and eastern philosophy. After graduating, he spent two years traveling before deciding to settle in Portland, OR. When not writing, he enjoys biking, traveling, philosophizing, and partaking in food and cheer and all things geeky. He likes to write stories that challenge the reader to examine social and philosophical issues, while also providing an immersive and exciting world to explore. He believes there is nothing more important than cultivating self while loving all that life brings your way, but that one should never forget to laugh either.
