Intro
Scott Alexander was raised in a family of engineers (grandfather, father, brother), but was forced to become a writer due to a debilitating calculus allergy. His love of all things technologic continued unabated, though, and he forged a career based on examining the fertile nexus between human culture and the increasingly complex technologies we use to mediate it (i.e. computers, TV, videogames, the Internet and all those shiny, shiny gadgets). For the past two decades he has been covering lifestyle and technology at a diverse array of publications including Popular Science, Family Circle, iVillage, CNET, Time Out New York, American Photo and Playboy. He currently lives in Brooklyn, NY surrounded by the foul-mouthed children he helped create (at least one of whom he will force to be an engineer).
