Metzger began writing science fiction stories as a child, but it was not until 1987 that he sold his first sci-fi short story. He published his first novel, '' Quad World '', in 1991 . It was not until 2002 that he published ''Picoverse''; he published his third and most recent novel, '' Cusp '', in 2005 . Metzger's works are widely considered hard sci-fi. Greg Bear called him "one of our most ambitious writers of high-tech, hard physics science fiction." Metzger holds a B.S., an M.S., and a Ph.D. in electrical engineering from UCLA . He is co-founder of the technical journal '' Compound Semiconductor '', and has authored over a hundred professional research papers. He has also written several articles on science for a popular audience for '' Wired '' magazine, and has published speculative studies involving climate engineering and space propulsion, co-authored with fellow scientist/sci-fi novelists Gregory Benford and Geoffrey Landis , respectively.
