Peter W. Singer Biography
Peter Warren Singer is Strategist at New America, a Professor of Practice at Arizona State University, and Founder & Managing Partner at Useful Fiction LLC, a company specializing in strategic narrative.
A New York Times Bestselling author, described in the Wall Street Journal as “the premier futurist in the national-security environment” and “all-around smart guy” in the Washington Post, he has been named by the Smithsonian as one of the nation’s 100 leading innovators, by Defense News as one of the 100 most influential people in defense issues, by Foreign Policy to their Top 100 Global Thinkers List, and as an official “Mad Scientist” for the U.S. Army’s Training and Doctrine Command.
No author, living or dead, has more books on the professional US military reading lists. His non-fiction books include "Corporate Warriors: The Rise of the Privatized Military Industry", "Children at War", "Wired for War: The Robotics Revolution" and "Conflict in the 21st Century"; "Cybersecurity and Cyberwar: What Everyone Needs to Know" and most recently "LikeWar", which explores how social media has changed war and politics. It was named an Amazon and Foreign Affairs book of the year and reviewed by Booklist as “LikeWar should be required reading for everyone living in a democracy and all who aspire to.” He is also the co-author of a new type of novel, using the format of a technothriller to communicate nonfiction research. "Ghost Fleet: A Novel of the Next World War" was both a top summer read and led to briefings everywhere from the White House to the Pentagon. His latest is "Burn-In: A Novel of the Real Robotic Revolution". It has been described by the creator of Lost and Watchmen as “A visionary new form of storytelling—a rollercoaster ride of science fiction blended with science fact,” and by the head of Army Cyber Command as “I loved Burn-In so much that I’ve already read it twice.”

“The Sarasota Institute of Lifelong Learning hosts 24 speakers for our Global Issues lectures during the winter months each year. Our attendees insist that Dr. Singer be invited back regularly. We collect audience surveys for all of our first time speakers. Dr Singer received one of our highest scores ever. A representative comment was the following: “Best public speaker! Clear context backed by great slides. So many other speakers drop their voices and we lose a great deal of what they say. It is not just about the subject, but how it is presented!!!”
SILL - Apr 08 2024 -
Dr. Peter W. Singer is a thoughtful and engaging speaker with incredible depth on issues like AI, emerging technology, and national security. Peter has a unique ability to make complex subjects accessible to diverse audiences. Indeed, showing how well his talks have gone off, we have invited him back multiple times, to speak to groups that range from summits of government and business leaders to executive education programs, to our diverse student audiences.
