Our neighbors were the Chakma hill people, most of whom lived without electricity and/or running water. My sense of "jungle reality" was then skewed by the US suburbs when our family returned to the States. You could say that my parents were adventurous travelers. Before I was six years old I had been around the world several times, including to many remote locations.
I think growing up nomadic, spanning cultures, gave me a unique perspective on technology, science and even history. In college I saw how six smart people could read the same book and come away with very distinct interpretations of what an author intended to say or what really happened. That set the stage for more thoughts about science and technology.
With the Sword of Agrippa I set out to push the boundaries of time and space beyond our senses, into the vast universe of energy. What would happen if we discovered a new source of energy, or reached the conclusion that our knowledge of science and tech is today still very limited? What if we had a very provincial notion of the universe and even life?
I have a BA from Reed College, and an MA from The University of Texas at Austin. I dabbled in Arabic for three years in grad school. I work in Silicon Valley.показать меньше
