Stewart Brand
These days I work half time as president for The Long Now Foundation and half time for Global Business Network (GBN). Occasionally I give talks. Occasionally I write books or articles. It’s been going on for a while—see bio. And etc.

What do I actually do? I find things and I found things. Things I find include tools, ideas, books, and people, which I blend and purvey. Things I’ve founded and co-founded include the Trips Festival (1966), Whole Earth Catalog (1968), Hackers Conference (1984), The WELL (1984), Global Business Network (1988), and The Long Now Foundation (1996).
Books I’ve written... Two Cybernetic Frontiers (1974), The Media Lab (1987), How Buildings Learn (1994), The Clock of the Long Now (2000).
Less well known things I’ve started and co-started... New Games (1973), CoEvolution Quarterly (1974), Uncommon Courtesy (1982), GBN Book Club (1988), All Species Inventory (2001), and Long Bets (2001) and Seminars About Long-term Thinking (2003)—both within Long Now.
Currently I’m trying to generate an academic subdiscipline and public-policy practice called Applied History.
