Alexander Medawar Garland (born 26 May 1970) is an English writer and filmmaker.
He rose to prominence as a novelist in the late 1990s with his novel The Beach, which led some critics to call Garland a key voice of Generation X.
He subsequently received praise for the screenplays of the films 28 Days Later (2002), Sunshine (2007), Never Let Me Go (2010), and Dredd (2012).
He co-wrote the video game Enslaved: Odyssey to the West (2010) and was a story supervisor on DmC: Devil May Cry (2013). In 2014, Garland made his directorial debut with Ex Machina, a science fiction film which explores the relationship between mankind and artificial intelligence; the film earned him an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Screenplay.
He also won three BIFA awards for Best Screenplay, Best Director and Best British Independent Film.
His second film, 2018's Annihilation, based on the 2014 novel by Jeff VanderMeer, was a critical success.
