My science fiction novel The Silk Code won the Locus Award for Best First Novel of 1999. I have since published Borrowed Tides (2001), The Consciousness Plague (2002), The Pixel Eye (2003), and The Plot To Save Socrates (2006). My science fiction and mystery short stories have been nominated for Nebula, Hugo, Edgar, and Sturgeon Awards. My eight nonfiction books, including The Soft Edge (1997), Digital McLuhan (1999), Realspace (2003), and Cellphone (2004), have been the subject of major articles in the New York Times, Wired, the Christian Science Monitor, and have been translated into nine languages. I appear on "The O'Reilly Factor" (Fox News), "The CBS Evening News," "Scarborough Country" (MSNBC), the “NewsHour with Jim Lehrer” (PBS), “Nightline” (ABC) and numerous national and international TV and radio programs. I am interviewed about media issues every Sunday, 7:15am, on KNX1070 Radio in Southern California. I'm Professor of Communication & Media Studies at Fordham University in New York City.
I go head-to-head with Bill O'Reilly on The Factor about the private lives of newscasters.
I’m proud to be on the May 8 page of this calendar, with the following quote: What begins as a seemingly innocent campaign against indecency … always segues in short order into political censorship.
