Writer.

I write about future technology and how it changes the way we live and work. Sometimes that’s non-fiction in newspapers, magazines and blogs, sometimes it’s in science fiction stories. After a 15-year career in my own various tech businesses I’ve let my inner geek run wild and immersed myself in writing and podcasting about the digital world. I love the edgy side of the tech scene where art and science meets business and politics, and I’ve written about it freelance for newspapers, magazines, blogs, books and broadcast about it on TV and radio since 2012.

Writes.

Technology has changed our daily experience of life and human behaviour along with it. Everyone knows likes used to be emotions, not clicks. Chat used to be something we did with voices, not thumbs. Shopping was as much a place as an activity. You paid in person or by post. The TV would only let you see what the networks wanted, when they wanted. Music came in sizes and speeds, never streams. A video was either a player or a cassette. The news was paper. People wanted mobile phones to make phone calls, not take pictures. Everybody knows that stuff. The old habits. The fiddling about. The waiting. However, do you ever wonder what we take for granted now that will sound as weird as that old nostalgia shtick in ten or twenty years? Laptops? Social media? Google?

Where tech meets people, things change. It’s always big and fast. We rarely see it coming. I write about that.

Fiction and non-fiction.

Most of my work is freelance, non-fiction journalism, features and editorial. Some of my work is blogging for brands about their latest products or producing white papers about new technologies and research. I have also written a business book about start-up life and cognitive bias. Yes. Psychology. Fun huh?

You might also have read some of my fiction, online. I have written two novels and I’ve joined the vibrant throng of unpublished debut novelists in social media, working on fiction projects and trying to get published. Some of my scifi work has been commissioned and will be coming soon… watch this space.
