Michael Belfiore's book: "The Department of Mad Scientists: How DARPA is Remaking our World, from the Internet to Artificial Limbs"
Michael Belfiore became a full-time writer in 1995, first working as a freelance technical writer and then moving into public relations writing for large corporations, still with a focus on technology. He covered the launch of the first privately built spaceship for the New York Post and Reuters as a freelance journalist in 2004. Since then he has written about spaceflight and advanced technology for Popular Science, New Scientist, Wired.com, Air & Space, Financial Times, and other outlets. Belfiore has appeared as a commentator on the Fox Business Network, CTV's Canada AM, NPR's Marketplace, and on radio programs across the United States.
Belfiore's book, "Rocketeers: How a Visionary Band of Business Leaders, Engineers, and Pilots Is Boldly Privatizing Space," is the first book to chronicle the birth of the commercial space age. His blog, "Dispatches from the Final Frontier," is a well-regarded source of news and commentary about the industry.
His book, "The Department of Mad Scientists: How DARPA Is Remaking Our World, from the Internet to Artificial Limbs," is the first book to go behind the scenes at the Pentagon agency that gave us the Internet, the first satellite positioning system, and many other breakthrough technologies that have had a positive impact on society. In addition to his work as a journalist, Belfiore provides marketing and public relations writing services to advanced technology companies.
