Michael Gorton is a futurist, entrepreneur, author, and innovator whose career has been defined by asking one simple question: What if the impossible is simply something that hasn't been built yet?

Over the past four decades, Michael has founded and helped build companies across healthcare, telecommunications, aerospace, artificial intelligence, entertainment, education, and energy. He is perhaps best known as the founder of Teladoc, the company that pioneered telemedicine and helped transform the delivery of healthcare around the world. His work has earned him numerous honors, including EY Entrepreneur of the Year and recognition as a World Economic Forum Technology Pioneer. He currently serves on the Board of the Texas Business Hall of Fame and continues to work with disruptive technologies that challenge conventional thinking.

Michael's academic journey reflects his lifelong curiosity. He holds degrees in Space Physics, Engineering, Literature, and Law, disciplines that have profoundly shaped both his entrepreneurial endeavors and his storytelling. His novels are known for blending real science with compelling characters, adventure, romance, and thought-provoking questions about humanity's future.

He is the author of numerous books spanning science fiction, business, healthcare, and history. His award-winning Tachyon Tunnel series has earned seventeen literary awards and multiple #1 bestseller rankings. The series explores humanity's first steps into an unimaginably larger universe, combining cutting edge scientific concepts with epic adventure, while remaining accessible to readers who simply love a great story.

Michael is also the founder of Plotsy.tv, a revolutionary entertainment platform designed to help authors bring their stories to life through episodic, cinematic visual storytelling. Available across television, mobile, and computer platforms, Plotsy is creating new opportunities for independent authors to share their work with audiences around the world.

When he isn't writing or building companies, Michael can often be found running, reading about emerging science, mentoring entrepreneurs, climbing mountains, or searching for the next impossible problem worth solving. He has completed eighteen marathons, earned a second-degree black belt, and remains convinced that curiosity is humanity's greatest superpower.

Whether in business or fiction, Michael's passion is the same: building things today that look impossible until tomorrow.). ...more
