Emmy(R) Award winner and media research industry leader, Bill Harvey has foretold the future of media for over 35 years. With a degree in philosophy and an imaginative, unorthodox mind for research, innovation and invention, Bill started his career in the media business. He predicted today's media reality and became a leader in the field as media morphed into being more interactive. In 2022, he received an Emmy(R) Award for pioneering development of technology. He holds four issued US patents. Bill experienced the Zone-that space where innovative and successful ideas and actions flow effortlessly-as a young child. The son of orchestra leader Ned Harvey and Ziegfeld Follies showgirl Sandra Harvey, he started performing on stage at age four, dancing with showgirls and exchanging lines with comedic greats. He liked the feeling of being "on" and wanted to learn how to be "on" more often. So began his lifelong quest to understand how to bring on higher states of consciousness and to help others do the same.Bill founded the Human Effectiveness Institute with the goal of sharing the consciousness techniques he had learned and developed. His first book, MIND MAGIC: The Science of Microcosmology, met with rave reviews in the late 70s and praise from thousands of readers. It is now in its sixth edition. In his second book, YOU ARE THE UNIVERSE: Imagine That, Bill speculates about the true nature of reality, in which all that exists is a single divine consciousness made of information. Turning to fiction, Bill conceived a series of novels entitled Agents of Cosmic Intelligence. THE FIRST SON, first to be released as Episode 2, covers the ancient world and its great prophets-whom Bill sees as cosmically-inspired Agents. PANDEMONIUM: Live to All Devices, Episodes 12 and 13 in the series, is set quite a few years in our own future when new media technology has served up augmented reality and artificial people. THE MESSAGE is Episode 11 in the series.Bill lives with his wife Lalita and their cat Zohreh in the Hudson Valley.
