Ed Park and the Book That Waited Twenty-Eight Years
He spent years editing other writers, nine years rebuilding a Korean American epic, and nearly three decades living beside a memoir he thought was gone. Ed Park's career is a study in what happens when unfinished work is allowed to keep its secrets.
Eliot Peper
Eliot Peper is the bestselling author of twelve speculative thrillers — including Ensorcelled, Foundry, Reap3r, and the Analog trilogy — that explore the collision of technology, power, and culture. Based in Pacifica, CA, he serves as Head of Story at Portola, where he builds the lore and personality behind Tolan, an AI companion startup that went from $1M to $4M ARR in four weeks. A former entrepreneur-in-residence at a VC firm, Latin translator, dengue fever survivor, and avid surfer, Peper writes the books he wants to read — and has earned praise from Seth Godin, Kim Stanley Robinson, Cory Doctorow, Kevin Kelly, and Tim O'Reilly along the way.
