He worked as entrepreneur, investor and writer.
His affiliations include PayPal, Chaosium and LinkedIn Corporation.
Technology is judged by adoption: an invention nobody uses is a curiosity.
His work was formally recognised with the Marshall Scholarship and Commander of the Order of the British Empire.
Working from the United States shaped what was possible - the audiences within reach, the institutions that would have him, the language the work first appeared in.
