Stephen Cobb: Award-winning technologist and bestselling author, trying to understand and undo the mess that patriarchy has made of technology and our planet. Hampered by amusia and deuteranopia. Helped by an amazing partner and family. Have spent more than three decades researching, writing, and teaching at the nexus of technology, ethics, crime, and public policy. Spoke at DEF CON III in 95. CISSP since 1996. Pushing for more ethics in technology education and global agreements to increase stability in cyberspace. Started two successful infosec companies. Produced an award-winning documentary about civil rights (file under: made no money, but made a difference). Raising awareness of hereditary hemochromatosis (the widely under-diagnosed genetic defect that disabled my partner). MSc in Security and Risk Management from the Criminology Department of the University of Leicester, England. Failures? Nearly lost it all in the Great Recession. Can't sing or play a musical instrument (due to congenital amusia, not a defect in my character).
