'''John Varley''' is a [[science fiction author]]. He has written several novels and numerous short stories, many of them in a [[Future History|future history]] (the Eight Worlds) where years before a race of mysterious and omnipotent aliens kicked humans off the Earth, but humans have inhabited virtually every other corner of the solar system, often through the use of wild biological modifications partially learned from eavesdropping on alien communications. His detailed speculations on the ways humans might use advances in biological science were revelatory in the 1970's when his story collection ''The Persistence of Vision'' was released. The title story in that collection won the [[Hugo Award|Hugo]] and [[Nebula Award|Nebula]] awards, and it has been suggested that "Overdrawn at the Memory Bank" may have inspired some portions of the movie [[Total Recall]] (although the primary inspiration was clearly the credited source, the [[Philip K. Dick]] story "We Can Remember it for you Wholesale").
