Annalee Newitz is a nationally-known technology and science writer.

She is a contributing editor at Wired, and also writes for Popular Science, Alternet.org, Salon.com, New Scientist, The Believer, and the San Francisco Bay Guardian. Her syndicated column Techsploitation deals with all things geeky and runs in newspapers throughout the U.S. and Canada.

A former policy analyst at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, she is also a strong supporter of alternative media. For four years she was the culture editor at the San Francisco Bay Guardian, one of the nation's last independent weekly newspapers, and is currently the editor of indie magazine other (www.othermag.org).

In 1992 she helped to found Bad Subjects (www.eserver.org/bs), the first leftist magazine available online. She is the author of Pretend We're Dead: Capitalist Monsters in American Pop Culture (Duke University Press); and the editor of three anthologies, She is Such a Geek (Seal Press), The Bad Subjects Anthology (New York University Press), and White Trash (Routledge Press).
