About the author

Todd G.
Simpson

Technologist first, novelist second

Todd Simpson holds a Ph.D. in Computer Science and has founded and led numerous technology companies. He has a keen interest in the evolution of AI, in both its potential and its risks.

Having run public and private companies, worked for an open-source non-profit, and invested venture capital in early-stage startups, he has seen the positives and negatives of corporate structure first-hand, particularly in the larger context of nation-state governance and incentive systems.

His books explore both the future of AI and the future of governance.

Beyond fiction

Orchestrate

All states need a plan for AI. What is Sovereign AI? Can nations afford it? Can they build and support it? Orchestrate looks deeply at these questions.

"It is rare for me to find a book that is entertaining and makes me think at the same time."
