Richard Thieme, an author and speaker, addresses challenges posed by technologies and how to redesign ourselves to meet them. He speaks to technology-related security and intelligence issues that impact “the human in the machine.” He has published numerous articles and stories and 13 books and given hundreds of speeches. His Mobius Trilogy about a professional spy, written after an NSA colleague said, “The only way you can tell the truth is in fiction,” has received wonderful reviews. Susan Hasler, a 21-year CIA veteran, included Mobius in her selection of the 5 best realistic spy novels; the 4 others were written by John Le Carre, W. Somerset Maugham, Graham Greene, and Alex Finley.
