About
Rick Moskovitz is a Harvard educated psychiatrist who taught psychotherapy and spent nearly four decades listening to his patients tell their stories. After leaving practice, he in turn became a storyteller, writing science fiction that explores the psychological consequences of living in a world of expanding possibilities.
His Brink of Life Trilogy begins with the quest for immortality in the mid-21st century and concludes with a search for the origin of human life. In Shared Madness, he returned to his roots as a psychiatrist to write a first person tale of a psychiatrist who, while treating a psychotic patient, descends into madness and finds himself at the nexus of a deadly mystery.
Carousel Music explores his fascination with the subjective and malleable nature of memory and how our memories create the narrative of our identities.
Featured Work
The Pinocchio Chip
Sometimes as I write, my characters speak to me. When I began writing Photina’s story for The Pinocchio Chip, she crawled into my head and asked to tell it herself. This account of an AI’s quest for the Holy Grail of consciousness: human emotions, is told through her eyes.
