A Recent Interview: Welcome to the Postnormal
I’ve been interviewed a bunch recently. Here are this year’s words.
For last year’s words belong to last year’s language.
And next year’s words await another voice.
| TS Eliot, Little Gidding
Who are you, what do you do, and how did you get to where you are now?
I’m Stowe Boyd, a well-known authority on the future of work, or as I put it, the ecology of work and the anthropology of the future. I began following the tectonic changes that new communications, coordination, and cooperation technologies were having on society, media and business in the ’80s, and I have been at the vanguard ever since. I am the founder of Work Futures, a research organization, and the publisher and editor of Work Futures Daily, the organization newsletter. I also serve as editor-in-chief of On The Horizon, a publication focused on the economics, structure, and behavior of platform ecosystems and organizations. Lastly, I am a contributing editor and research fellow for Gigaom’s Open Research initiative.
