Andrew Burt

Hi, I'm Dr. Andrew Burt, a professional science fiction writer and former Vice President of Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America, Inc. I run Critique dot org , the first writers' workshop on the web (now expanded beyond writing to music, photography, etc.). I have the strange distinction of having founded the world's first Internet service provider, back when I was a computer science professor (research in networking, security, privacy, and free-speech/social issues). I'm a technology consultant/author/speaker. I'm currently CEO of TechSoft. For a hobby, I construct solutions to all the world's problems. Fortunately -- nobody listens. I live in the Rockies with my wife and our two parrots. If I'm not writing about the future (including the future of ebooks on my blog), doing research, programming, fiddling with a web page or a server, hiking, biking, hanging out drinking wine/cosmos/scotch/port, eating, or sleeping, I'm probably, er, well, the empty set...
