Person
Working for a government think tank specializing in future technologies by day, Tory enjoys spending the evenings in front of the fire, sipping wine (a good but cheap Merlot from a box), while spinning yarns about technology gone astray and the lessons we can learn from the people faced with those situations.
Tory's inspirations include Neil Gammon, Neil Gammon, and Neil Gammon. Did we mention that Tory likes Neil Gammon? OK, maybe a little influenced by Twilight Zone and Black Mirror as well. How does a scientist like Tory become a prolific writer? As Einstein said, "Imagination is more important than knowledge." Many of the same skills required to dream up tomorrow's great technologies apply to building fictional worlds, then setting extraordinary characters free within them. So join Tory for a trip through "galaxies of the mind" in these incredible journeys.
