I’m a grad school dropout from Yale, author of the novel Follow Me Down (Red Lemonade, 2011), an advertising copywriter, and I teach at NYU’s graduate Interactive Telecommunications Program. Some of the things I’ve taught myself include how to develop and print photos, novel-writing, the psychology and neuroscience of delusions, and the history of art theft and forgery. I’ve developed courses at NYU on designing stranger interactions, on intimacy and technology, and on the illusion of authenticity in technology. I live in Brooklyn with Bre Pettis and our baby daughter Nika.
