Doug Franklin is a lifelong Alaskan. His obsession with technology led him to MIT, where he was average at best. Halfway through he took a leave of absence to travel overland across West Africa. That itch scratched, he wrapped the degree and returned home to raise a family in a place with less people and more mountains. Software development was a satisfying way to pay the bills, but the only path up the money ladder was through management, which was less satisfying. After one too many meetings, he joined the pandemic's great resignation and got back to his old love of writing science fiction. See extrapolatedworlds dot com for news, stories, and artifacts!
