Personal History:
Isaac Gorkoniker was born in Moscow, January 30, 2002 to Warren and Fae Gorkoniker
He was drafted in November 2029 for the Third World War and was sent to fight in the Irkutsk invasion in 2030.
He lost his leg in a mortar explosion while carrying wounded soldiers to safety during the Siege of Angarsk (2032), he received the Order of Courage.
He lived in Angasrk until the end of the war, and for two years after, during which he wrote his war memoir, published in 2038.
He emigrated to the U.S. in 2038 with the money he made off of his book.
He spent five years in Brooklyn where he wrote and worked at Fordham University. During this time he met and worked closely with Rudolph Najder developing Neo-Babelics.
During this time he also met and married Kassidy Cohen.
They moved to Danville, VT in 2043 when he was 41 and stayed there until his passing in 2091.
During the ‘Vermont Years’ he became invested in the works of Thoreau and Emerson and pioneered the Transcendentalism Revival, his most famous work of this era being the sister-works ‘Self-Immanence & Self-Transcendence’ which approach traditional Transcendental ideas from Jewish and Pantheistic perspectives.
In 2077 when he was 75 years old, he went on a foot-journey backpacking across the White Mountains cataloging the various species of birds. On his return he caught a bad cold which developed into pneumonia which eventually caused him to lose his already damaged hearing completely.
On October 1, 2091 he passed away in his sleep. His coffin was quickly transported to Moscow where the next day he was buried.
He is survived by his children: Mark, Jack and Fae.

Picture is Gorkoniker reading to his grandchild in ~2084.
