About the author
Martin Talks
3 books12 followersThe relationship between human and technology fascinates me and informs my writing.
My first book, 'A to Z of Digital Detoxing', looked at how digital detoxing can help digital not be toxic in our lives. I still advocate taking time away from screens and I take groups on digital detoxing adventures.
My second book, Blinky's Law, is my first fiction novel and explores how emerging technologies might play out in the future in a tongue-in-cheek way. I strongly believe that it is only through fiction that we can explore the future, as the future is no longer an extension of the present.
I have also set up My Saga (www.my-saga.com) to help people publish their memoirs. It's been hugely rewarding to see how much pleasure people get from capturing their life stories for future generations.
My other creative outlets include painting (in particular pet portraits), cartooning, noodling, doodling and day dreaming.
My background is as an entrepreneur who floated a shares information company on the London Stock Exchange and founded and sold a digital marketing agency. I have continued my interest in the application of technology in our lives through making virtual reality viewers, leading webinars for Google, speaking at events and in the media and advising companies and leaders on how to thrive in the digital age.
I am married to Sarah and have three children: Isobel, Rufus and Alphaeus. I also have two dachshunds, Bea and Ludwig, and at the last count 18 hens.
