Bob SeidenstickerBob Seidensticker (No-God)– After graduating from MIT in 1980, Bob designed digital hardware, about which he wrote his first book, The Well-Tempered Digital Design (Addison-Wesley, 1986). He has programmed in a dozen computer languages and in environments ranging from punch cards, to one of the first windowing environments, to MS-DOS, to Windows (starting with version 1.0). He is a co-contributor to 14 software patents and has worked at a number of technology companies from a 10-person start-up to Microsoft and IBM.
After leaving Microsoft, he focused on writing. His book Future Hype: The Myths of Technology Change (Berrett-Koehler, 2006) explored technology change—how we see it and how it really works. His novel, Cross Examined: An Unconventional Spiritual Journey, explores his own journey from faith. He also writes a widely read atheist blog which critiques Christianity. Bob is a member of the Seattle Atheists and a go to speaker for the Humanists of Washington.
