P.W. Singer Speaker Profile: At A Glance
P.W. Singer has been named by the Smithsonian Institution-National Portrait Gallery as one of the 100 "leading innovators in the nation" and by Foreign Policy Magazine to their Top 100 Global Thinkers List, of the people whose ideas most influenced the world that year.
Peter Warren Singer is Strategist at New America, a Professor of Practice at Arizona State University, and Founder and Managing Partner at Useful Fiction LLC, a strategic narratives firm.
A New York Times Bestselling author, described in the Wall Street Journal as “the premier futurist in the national-security environment” and "an all around smart guy" in the Washington Post, he has been named by the Smithsonian as one of the nation’s 100 leading innovators, by Defense News as one of the 100 most influential people in defense issues, by Foreign Policy to their Top 100 Global Thinkers List, and as an official “Mad Scientist” for the U.S. Army’s Training and Doctrine Command.
No author, living or dead, has more books on the professional US military reading lists. His non-fiction books include Corporate Warriors: The Rise of the Privatized Military Industry, Children at War, Wired for War: The Robotics Revolution and Conflict in the 21st Century; Cybersecurity and Cyberwar: What Everyone Needs to Know and most recently LikeWar, which explores how social media has changed war and politics. It was named an Amazon and Foreign Affairs book of the year and reviewed by Booklist as “LikeWar should be required reading for everyone living in a democracy and all who aspire to.” He is also the co-author of a new type of novel, using the format of a technothriller to communicate nonfiction research. Ghost Fleet: A Novel of the Next World War was both a top summer read and led to briefings everywhere from the White House to the Pentagon. His latest is Burn-In: A Novel of the Real Robotic Revolution, which used the format of a novel to explain key issues in AI and cyber threats. It has been described by the creator of Lost and Watchmen as “A visionary new form of storytelling—a rollercoaster ride of science fiction blended with science fact,” and by the head of Army Cyber Command as “I loved Burn-In so much that I’ve already read it twice.” The project led to briefings on AI's implications for leaders who range from the US President to leading investors.
Singer has delivered speeches at venues that range from the White House and Australian Parliament to TED, SXSW, and the Festival of Dangerous Ideas.
