Along the way, he has been a journalist, worked in soil decontamination, sold ice cream in California, and furniture across Canada. He received a Ph.D. in linguistics from the University of Chicago. He taught linguistics in India, and worked as a software engineer in Montreal. He is also a certified translator, though he wishes he were an astronaut. He absolutely loves toys; his girlfriend would have him believe that he has too many, so he writes about aliens and giant robots as a blatant excuse to build action figures (for his son, of course). His debut, \u003ci\u003eSleeping Giants\u003c\/i\u003e, was described by NPR as \"one of the most promising series kickoffs in recent memory.\"\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Sylvain Neuvel \/ Paperback \/ English","offer_id":47876614258845,"sku":"9781837866892","price":29.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/files\/img_7e6ddd42-956b-45a3-8140-8ccdf96803ab.jpg?v=1777383223","url":"https:\/\/booksdeli.com\/products\/the-many-9781837866892","provider":"booksdeli.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
