Neophyte writer of fiction -- working on my first effort, a utopian novel.
Also a professor of political science, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, specializing in technological controversies such as drone weaponry, toxic chemicals, 3D printing, alternative energy, and (what I fear is) the coming age of androids.

Co-founder of Shannon Farm, an alternative community in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Virginia -- about to celebrate its 40th birthday, still intact against the odds.
Family, houseplants, pinball machines, Dexter, detective novels, naps. Oh, and the tenuous future of human civilization.Interact
