I grew up in Washington D.C., moved away to Los Angeles for a decade to follow my love of storytelling and screenwriting, and ended up on a marketing and advertising career track. Now back in D.C, and with over 2 decades of digital advertising experience, I have seen first hand how we are tracked and traced by our digital footprints. I am fascinated by the advent of new technologies and how they will affect us in the future, My novel, Code 44, is an exploration, a realistic potential, of how this technology will roll out to the masses and the Orwellian threats it presents to our democracy and freedom. If you want to ask me any questions or discuss the topic of the upcoming brain chip, that Elon Musk plans to release in 2020, I'd love to!
