Eli K.P. William is a sci-fi novelist and Japanese literary translator. He is the author of the Jubilee Cycle trilogy, set in a future Tokyo turned financial dystopia, where every action—from blinking to sexual intercourse—is intellectual property owned by corporations that charge licensing fees. The series includes Cash Crash Jubilee, The Naked World, and A Diamond Dream. It has been compared to works of classic cyberpunk by William Gibson and Neal Stephenson and to traditional dystopian literature by Aldous Huxley, George Orwell, and Phillip K. Dick.

He also writes book reviews and essays in both English and Japanese for such publications as Subaru, The Japan Times, and The Pacific Rim Review of Books, and has translated literature by some of Japan's most renowned authors. His translations include Keiichiro Hirano's bestselling novel A Man and various essays and short stories for Granta, Monkey, Kyoto Journal, The Southern Review, and more. He currently lives in the mountains of Kamakura with his wife and daughter.
