FAST, Jonathan (David)

FAST, Jonathan (David)
(1948-)
   US composer and writer, son of Howard FAST, who wrote music before coming to sf with "Decay" for FSF in 1975. His first novel, The Secrets of Synchronicity (1977; vt Prisoner of the Planets 1980 UK), is acomplex SPACE OPERA which, unusually for the form, treats an expanding capitalism as inherently repressive of true freedom. In Mortal Gods (1978) a similar enemy maintains control over a culture shaped by the possibilities of GENETIC ENGINEERING. The tone of his writing, which is generally light, and his plotting, which is contrived, tend to obscure the political arguments underlying his work.

   Other works: The Inner Circle (1979); The Beast (1981), a fantasy.
