Biography

One authorial voice across different forms.

Iván Moreno writes fiction about knowledge, power, and people making consequential choices inside systems they do not fully control. The scale ranges from contemporary criminal investigation to civilizational survival and speculative worlds shaped by scientific ideas.

He grew up surrounded by books, comics, VHS tapes, and dismantled computers, developing an enduring interest in the boundary between science, imagination, the mind, and philosophy. That same curiosity later became the meeting point between his fiction and his independent scientific work.

Among the writers he returns to most often are Neal Stephenson, Kim Stanley Robinson, Arthur C. Clarke, Frederik Pohl, and Dan Simmons.

Crime and thriller fiction appears under the Iván Moreno byline. Science fiction, speculative fiction, and fantasy appear as Vanya M.G. The distinction helps readers locate each body of work; it does not represent separate creative identities.

Writing & research

Scientific inquiry as part of the creative process.

Alongside his literary work, Moreno Gil pursues independent research in theoretical physics and cosmology, continuing a long-standing, largely self-directed engagement with scientific questions.

His research work has been made available through platforms including Zenodo and Research Square. On the fiction side, that scientific practice informs how he approaches scale, causality, physical limitations, technological tradeoffs, and the long-term consequences of speculative technologies.
