I am currently writing a book about the impact of neurotechnology on society. The intellectual basis for my writing stems from my undergraduate studies in evolutionary biology and graduate research in economic geography at UCLA. A combination of experiences have lead me to question our common future. I've spent time investigating self-organizing behaviour of leaf cutter ants at Finca La Selva, Costa Rica; analyzing sustainable agriculture and economics at the Land Institute in Salina, Kansas; and several years dealing with real life technology adoption issues at high-tech enterprise software startups as the VP of Marketing--Maxager (profit optimization), Steelwedge (enterprise forecasting).
While I was writing my master's thesis on how communication technologies will impact human settlement patterns, I co-wrote the cirrculum and taught classes at the Anderson School of Business on long-range scenario planning techniques. Two people have influenced my scientific interests: my wife's graduate work in Neuroscience at UCSF/Stanford along with her co-founding of a proteomics company, Aspira Biosystems, and my brother's early genetic research in the 1980s on human deafness and his co-founding of Sound Pharmaceuticals to bring his science to market.
