I've been writing professionally on analog and digital culture for quite some time now. My latest project is a series of books called simply The Wonders of the World, whose aim is to accessibly chronicle some of the most remarkable achievements in human history. The series is premised on the idea that its subjects are indeed wondrous, and there's no reason why books about them should be one whit less exciting and inspiring than a good novel. It's also something of an experiment in reader participation: books in the series first appear on a chapter-by-chapter basis at my website The Analog Antiquarian, where readers can comment on them, help to weed out the bad ideas, and generally shape the product before it gets refined into its final published form. In addition to the Wonders of the World series, you may wish to explore my book on the history of the Commodore Amiga personal computer for the MIT Press's Platform Studies series, or visit my other website The Digital Antiquarian, a long-running history of personal computing and computer gaming. Your support of my work, whether through buying my books here or signing up to support my websites, is the only thing that makes it possible to continue. So, thank you for that! Without readers, a writer is nothing.
