Author Information

Perttu Polonen is a multitalent-an inventor, composer, and futurist. He has won the first prize in the European Union Contest for Young Scientists and has been included in MIT Tech Review's list of the most brilliant innovators under thirty-five in Europe. In his work Perttu combines knowledge he has acquired from studying in Silicon Valley and working in Myanmar. In his home country, Finland, Perttu has become one of the most sought-after speakers, inspiring thousands of people in his lectures. Rich Miller has been a storyteller since he was a kid. When he was around ten, he turned the tables on the parents that had instilled a love of books in him: He started reading to his family after dinner every night (his favorites were The Lemonade Trick and The Big Joke Game, by Scott Corbett, but Encyclopedia Brown stories were a big hit as well). Later in life, he found out that people liked having stories acted out for them. He's performed onstage in everything from Shakespeare to Damn Yankees to August: Osage County, and starred in the indie feature Ocatilla Flat. And now he's acting out stories in front of a microphone. Except for when he's dodging Tucson drivers on his bicycle, or finding the next great Happy Hour locale.
