Author Information

Mike May has a passion for understanding how things work. This suited his engineering career well, but was redirected when he came to realize that he had only a superficial understanding of how history and society work. His questions led him on a decades-long literary odyssey spanning tens of thousands of pages written over the last three millennia. The seeds of this book were planted upon discovering in old or ancient texts the surprising frequency of answers to seemingly modern problems. Mike practices engineering in the field of low-carbon energy. He resides in Tennessee with his wife Claire and their children: Hope, Elijah, Zechariah, and Joseph.
