Rob Reid spent years at the center of the early internet business world before turning to writing. He founded Listen.com, which became the streaming service Rhapsody, giving him a front-row seat to the collision of technology and the music industry.
That experience fed directly into his fiction. Year Zero imagines what would happen if alien civilizations, having illegally downloaded all of human music, owed damages under US copyright law so vast they exceed the value of the known universe. His later novel After On tackles AI and the social media age with similar wit.
His non-fiction work from the 1990s covers Harvard Business School and the early web economy, written while those subjects were still unfolding around him.
