My latest book is Mixed Harvest: Stories from the Human past, narratives of daily life from the arrival of modern humans in Europe through the emergence of urban life in Mesopotamia.

I call this the Sedentary Divide: before life was one way, after it was different in every way.

I've worked as a technology journalist and technical writer, scripted computer games written for television, published several novels and a hundred or so poems, did story, scenario and report writing for the Institute for the Future in Palo Alto, CA, and was for several years a Visiting Scholar at the Stanford Archaeology Center (and published two archaeology textbook-novels). It's generally been a very good time.
