Robert Paul "Tad" Williams (born March 14, 1957) is the author of several fantasy and science fiction novels, including Tailchaser's Song, the Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn series, the Otherland series, and The War of the Flowers.
Williams is currently writing the Shadowmarch series, the first volume of which was published in November of 2004. The second volume, Shadowplay, was published in March 2007.
In July 2006, Williams started publishing a new six issue comic mini-series called The Next through DC Comics. A second series for DC Comics called The Factory is currently in planning stages. In addition, Tad is writing Aquaman: Sword of Atlantis for DC Comics starting with issue #50, a project which began in March 2007.
Otherland is a four-volume science fiction epic by Tad Williams. The story is set in the mid-to-late 21st century (Some hints to a character's age shows that the story takes place in the 2070's) where technology has advanced somewhat from the modern day. The most notable advancement has been the development of the ability for people to attach themselves fully to a computer via a nerve interface in order to experience an online world, called simply "the net", as virtually real. Tad Williams weaves an intricate plot spanning four thick volumes and creates a picture of a future society where virtual worlds are fully integrated into everyday life.
His proposed ability to immerse oneself fully in a simulation gives him a great deal of artistic freedom, and the story winds through alternate interpretations of many classical literary works such as Through the Looking Glass, The Odyssey and The Wizard of Oz, which are in the book available as entertainment simulations.

City of Golden Shadow
Plot introduction
The science fiction novel tells the story of a frightening virtual network created by a group of rich men known as The Grail Brotherhood. These men include; Felix Jongleur, who was a child at the time of the First World War, and is currently the world's oldest man; Jiun Biao, a Chinese economist, described as "the terror of Asia;" and Robert Wells, the owner of Telemorphix, the world's largest telecommunications company. The book tells the story of a group of ordinary people who are drawn into the network to stop them.
Explanation of the novel's title
The "Otherland" of the book's original and series title is that of the virtual world of a 'super internet'. The title "City Of Golden Shadows" refers to a city, in the otherland network, to where the main characters are being summoned.
Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn is Tad Williams's epic fantasy trilogy, comprising The Dragonbone Chair (1988), Stone of Farewell (1990), and To Green Angel Tower (1993). The paperback publication of To Green Angel Tower was divided into two volumes, so the majority of Williams' readers may consider Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn more properly called a tetralogy than a trilogy.
