Nora Schinnerl lives in a shared house on the outskirts of Vienna, Austria, and tries not to get confused by writing in English while speaking in German. When she isn’t writing, she enjoys reading too much, playing video games for too long and finding shortcuts through the woods. She is very bad at being realistic, which is why her idea of a day job is working as an archaeologist. “Old People’s Folly” is her first published story and has also been reprinted in Best of World Science Fiction Vol. 3.
