Peterson's debut SF novel, Gardeners of the Universe, begins in the not-too-distant future with the births of three children destined to change the world. Rianne grows up to lead biological revolutions. Dan creates sentient computers and guides the direction of human evolution. Sarah, in an age of information dissonance, becomes the most trusted individual on Earth, and convinces the world that it must change. What sets the three apart from the rest of humanity are genetics and ''gifts'' that were no accident. The book shows how the children and their totally different families adapt to disruptive new technologies in transportation, medicine, communication, as well as global catastrophe. The focus is on how people will change themselves, through mechanical devices, augmented intelligence, and ultimately altering our genetics, and how these shifts will affect real people. As humanity struggles, an ancient alien species, the Torae, aka the ''Gardeners, '' have come to observe our ''transcendence.'' They are desperately trying to create new universes to populate. The three young humans are unknowingly conscripted into their schemes while guiding the Earth through the most dangerous and consequential time in its history-the 21st century. This is a story about the profound vision, adaptability, and truth we will need to survive.

Peterson, Ron: - After graduating from Caltech and receiving his PhD in condensed matter physics from the University of Illinois, Ron Peterson worked his way to near the top at Honeywell, speaking for the entire company's new product strategy as Vice President of Technology before retiring. He began writing Gardeners of the Universe for his daughters and other young people, showing them the fantastic joys and dangers certain to unfold during their lifetimes. Gardeners of the Universe is Peterson's second published book. He also authored a memoir: An Introvert Learns to Fly: A Memoir of Timidity, Panic, Science, Leadership, and Love (2018). In addition to writing, Peterson enjoys traveling, consulting, and volunteering. He manages one of the largest community gardens in Minnesota, the Rice Street Gardens, where more than 260 gardeners have plots. For the past several years he has led "Grandpa Camp" for his six young grandchildren, where he has introduced them to quantum mechanics, differential equations, cooking, photography, and travel experiences. Ron lives with his wife, Miriam, in Minnesota, where she tries to keep his feet on the ground while his head remains in the stars.
