Steven Levy Biography

Steven Levy, Wired Editor at Large, is recognized for his analysis and documentation of the digital revolution and its impact on society. Levy began his career with an assignment for Rolling Stone on hackers, a subculture then largely unknown, and identified early the significance of the digital revolution as a central narrative in modern history. His book "Hackers" is considered a classic in computer history and has influenced many to pursue careers in technology, earning recognition from PC Magazine readers as a leading science and technology book.

Levy continued his work in technology journalism at Newsweek, serving as senior editor and chief technology correspondent. He later joined Wired magazine full time, having contributed to the publication since its inception. Levy also played a key role at Medium, launching a technology-focused site aimed at evolving digital journalism. His books, including "Crypto," which received the grand e-book prize at the Frankfurt Book Fair, and "In the Plex," an in-depth examination of Google's internal operations, have shaped public understanding of technology, cryptography, blockchain, and artificial intelligence.

In addition to his writing, Levy is a frequent speaker on topics such as hacker ethics, the influence of technology firms, and the future shaped by AI and big data. His insights are informed by decades of relationships with technology leaders including Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, and Steve Jobs. Levy's work has appeared in Harper's Magazine, The New Yorker, and Rolling Stone. His contributions to technology discourse were recognized with induction as a SVForum Visionary. Levy's true crime book, "The Unicorn’s Secret," was adapted into the NBC miniseries "The Hunt for the Unicorn Killer," reflecting his range in covering both technology and true crime.

Hackernomics

30 years ago, Levy’s book Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution described the "hacker ethic" which has lead the huge innovations and success of technology companies. Three decades later, Steven has revisited the hacker world, and has found that the “hacker ethic” is now the dominating culture in the most of the world’s most admired companies (Facebook even named the road leading into their corporate campus “Hacker Way”). Learn why the hacker mindset drives the type of innovation that makes companies like Apple, Google, Facebook and others so successful. More importantly, he explores the key hacker concepts and practices that you can immediately use to drive higher levels of innovation in your organization. This is a critical speech for leaders looking to gain an edge over their competitors.
