IR Clarke weaves grounded sci-fi and epic fantasy, drawing from a rich life split between Sydney’s vibrant Eora Country and a global career in engineering, economics and technology. With degrees from Cambridge and Stanford, Clarke crafts gritty tales of resilience and survival in a world reshaped by catastrophe. A deep concern for the future fuels the stories, blending gritty realism with hope. When not writing, Clarke dives into Sydney’s natural beauty or explores the world with family and friends.
