Lawrence Nault

Lawrence Nault is a Canadian author, filmmaker, and multimedia creator whose work crosses the fault lines between climate, technology, and memory. Known as "The Mountain Hermit," he writes fiction that invites readers to imagine boldly and actresponsibly-stories that are at once intimate character journeys and wide-angle looks at our shared future.

His books span audiences: the YA Draconim series (air, fire, water-and what it means to protect them) centers youth advocacy and ecological justice; the "Symbiosis Sequence" reframes humanity's relationship with artificial intelligence; and the MacIver Kids Adventures deliver science-rich, heart-forward expeditions from Earth's deep past to distant worlds.

A longtime independent creator, Lawrence builds his projects across page, screen, and audio, including the documentary Echoes of a Hermit and the "Stone & Signal" podcast. He lives and works in Alberta's Badlands, drawing inspiration from Canadian landscapes-from Drumheller's coulees to Cape Breton's shores.
