Picture of John Akers, author

JOHN AKERS grew up in the suburbs of New York in the B.C. era (before connectivity). He got his undergraduate degree in behavioral sciences from Rice University, and to this day enjoys telling people he got a B.A. in B.S. He later got a master's degree in human factors engineering from Georgia Tech before toiling away as a product designer deep in the underground mines of various technology companies. His fascination with the promise and peril of technology eventually became the impetus for his first book, The Infinet

John lives with his family in San Diego, California. You can contact him at john@john-akers.com
