David Louis Edelman is a science fiction novelist, blogger, and web programmer who lives outside of Washington, D.C. He was a finalist for the 2008 John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer.

His first novel, "Infoquake," was published in summer 2006 by Pyr, an imprint of Prometheus Books. Barnes & Noble Explorations called the book "the love child of Donald Trump and Vernor Vinge," then later named it their Top SF Novel of 2006. "Infoquake" was also nominated for the John W. Campbell Memorial Award for Best Novel.

His second novel, "MultiReal" (the sequel to "Infoquake"), was called "a thoroughly-successful hybrid of 'Neuromancer' and 'Wall Street'" by Hugo nominee Peter Watts, and listed as one of the top SF novels of 2008 by io9, Pat's Fantasy Hotlist and SFFWorld.

His latest novel, "Geosynchron" (the concluding volume of the Jump 225 trilogy) will be released on February 23, 2010. Library Journal has said "Geosynchron" "tak[es] cyberpunk to the next level," and io9 calls the book "an engaging conclusion to a thrilling, thought-provoking saga."

In addition to writing novels, Dave has also programmed websites for the U.S. Army, the FBI, and Rolls-Royce; taught software to the U.S. Congress and the World Bank; written articles for the Washington Post and Baltimore Sun; and directed the marketing departments of biometric and e-commerce companies.
