IR Clarke

IR Clarke is an Australian author who weaves grounded sci-fi and epic fantasy, drawing from a rich life split between Sydney’s vibrant Eora Country and a global career in engineering, economics, and technology. With degrees from Cambridge and Stanford, Clarke crafts tales of resilience and survival in a world reshaped by catastrophe. A deep concern for climate change fuels the writing, blending gritty realism with hope for sustainable futures.

In The Song of Sidni, Clarke envisions a post-apocalyptic Sydney where a matriarchal tribe, led by a fierce yet compassionate leader, seeks harmony with a battered Earth while unraveling secrets of a lost civilisation.

When not writing, Clarke dives into Sydney’s natural beauty, or explores the world. Join the journey on Substack for exclusive chapters and updates on The Song of Sidni.
