Ian Watson is a British science fiction author. He currently lives in Northamptonshire, England.
His first novel, The Embedding, winner of the Prix Apollo in 1975, is unusual for being based on ideas from generative grammar; the title refers to the process of center embedding. Watson is credited as author of the screen story for the motion picture A.I.:Artificial Intelligence.
During 1980, Watson and Michael Bishop wrote the first transatlantic SF novel collaboration, Under Heaven's Bridge, using typewriters and postal services.
