- William H. DeSmedt is an American author of science fiction. His first novel, Singularity (2004), explores the 1908 Tunguska event and the speculative hypothesis that it was caused by a submicroscopic, primordial black hole. Although the novel is frequently generalized as a work of science fiction, its premise is heavily supported by factual science fleshed out with fictional characters. The novel qualifies in the action/thriller genre as the pace of the plot development resonates with the works of Tom Clancy or Michael Crichton. DeSmedt has a depth of knowledge in both Russian language and Russian Studies which are both highly employed in his debut novel, Singularity (2004). He completed eighteen months of Russian language instruction at the Army Language School (which later evolved into the Defense Language Institute) in Monterey, California. He also earned both a Bachelor of Arts (B.A. ), a Master of Arts (M.A. ) in Soviet Area Studies, and a Master of Science (M.S. ) in Computer Science. The culmination of his Soviet-oriented education was a ten month tour in a US – USSR student exchange program. Since then, DeSmedt has served in the capacity of programmer and system designer, consulting for both startups and Fortune 500 companies. He also developed a specialty in Artificial Intelligence research and language. More recently, he is highly regarded as a knowledge engineer . DeSmedt is married with both children and grandchildren.
