Deze auteur verkent de grenzen van de menselijke geest en het potentieel van geavanceerde technologie, en vraagt zich vaak af hoe ver we kunnen gaan en of het soms niet te ver is. Zijn werk duikt in complexe systemen, van programmeren voor de zware industrie tot het onderzoeken van de aard van kunstmatige intelligentie. Zijn geschriften worden gekenmerkt door een fascinatie voor de mogelijkheden die voortvloeien uit technologische vooruitgang, getemperd door een voorzichtige bewustwording van onvoorziene gevolgen. Zijn proza biedt een boeiend onderzoek naar de ingewikkelde relatie tussen menselijkheid en machine.
