[P]recedent is relevant only in an institution that lacks confidence in its present and future ability to reach conclusions on a rational basis. (John Kay, "The Management of the University of Oxford.... Facing the Future")
[To the tune of Lynyrd Skynyrd, "Tuesday's Gone," from the album "The Essential Lynyrd Skynyrd".]

I'm a research director at the Institute for the Future, a think tank in Silicon Valley. I'm also an Associate Fellow at Oxford University's Saïd Business School, and a Senior Research Scholar in the Science Technology and Society program at Stanford University.
At the Institute, I work on the future of science and technology. In my free time I'm working on a book on the end of cyberspace. More details are available in my c.v. (PDF). My first book, Empire and the Sun: Victorian Solar Eclipse Expeditions, was published by Stanford University Press in 2002.
I also keep up-to-date profiles on LinkedIn and Facebook.
