Delinquent Genius: The Strange Affair of Man and His Technology

by Mike Cooley

Delinquent Genius is simply brimming with insights. It traces the sources of technology and its application. It is, above all else, a brilliant account of a dangerous hubris which can lead to that which is instrumental becoming a source, a dangerous source of domination, of passive rather than active existence... I believe the publication of this book must be seen as an invaluable contribution. What is particularly moving in it is that it takes all of these issues that have been raised in different fora, and in different ways and locates them in a biographical experience of a brilliant scholar. There is something immensely hopeful in this, the sheer power that comes from retaining one s early curiosity, harvesting it through scholarship, and delivering it for the benefit of mankind.

About the author

I have been writing science fiction and fantasy stories for many years. My writing has an edge to it. I enjoy exploring the dark and surreal landscapes of the mind.

My first fantasy novel, The Crystal Warrior, has just been released. I am currently working on book two in the series.

I also have a science fiction collection called Skin of Giants.

I grew up in Washington State, went to college in New Mexico, and now live in Minnesota. I am an Engineering Consultant (nerd) for a large retail corporation during the day, and a fiction writer / musician at night.

I live in the suburbs, just north of Minneapolis, with one wife (dancer), one kid (boy), and two cats (fat).
