Maurice G. Dantec is one of the most popular and richest Writer who was born on June 13, 1959 in Grenoble, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France.
Dantec was born in Grenoble, France, the son of a journalist and a seamstress. He grew up primarily in Ivry-sur-Seine near Paris. While still in high school he met Jean-Bernard Pouy, future author of noir novels such as Le Poulpe, who inspired Dantec to take an interest in noir fiction. In the late 1970s, after graduating from college, Dantec put together a band called “État d’urgence” (“State of Emergency”) one of the first French punk acts. In 1977 the band changed its name to “Artefact”, but kept the punk ideology. Artefact is a concept-band, influenced by Suicide, Devo, Kraftwerk, Talking Heads and Public Image Limited. Dantec invented the concept of “Hard-Muzak” to define the sound of his band, as a mix of Industrial music and disco making the band the French equivalent of No-Wave bands from New York, and English ones from the post- punk. He pursued a career in Artefact (until the band’s breakup in 1981) while working as a copywriter in the advertising industry.
Dantec began writing seriously in the 1990s. His first novel, La Sirène rouge (“The Red Siren”), was published in 1993 as a part of the Série noire collection. The novel won the 813 award for best crime novel. His second novel, Les Racines du mal (“The Roots of Evil”), appeared in 1995 and borders on cyberpunk fiction. The novel was successful commercially and was awarded the Prix de l’Imaginaire. His classically cyberpunk novella Là où tombent les anges (“Where the Angels fall”), appeared the same year, in an extra edition of Le Monde. He worked with Richard Pinhas and Norman Spinrad for the group Heldon, under the project “Schizotrope” for 3 albums, including a North American Tour in 1999.
