HP Newquist is a writer whose books have have received numerous awards and citations. His books and articles have been published all over the world and his writing has been translated into languages from kanji to farsi. His work has been cited by The New York Times, The Economist, USA Today, Forbes, Fortune, the Los Angeles Times and The Wall Street Journal.
Newquist's writing spans a vast array of interests . . . from music and medicine to the serious and scary. In the late 1980s and 1990s he wrote extensively about artificial intelligence (AI), compiling a body of work that is arguably the most extensive coverage of AI created to date.
Newquist became an editorial columnist for Computerworld, and a contributor to Newsweek, Popular Mechanics, the Financial Technology Report, and Music Technology magazine. These led, perhaps not so naturally, to a series of books on international finance for Lafferty UK, and the Editor-In-Chief position at GUITAR magazine. He contributed to a host of other music magazines, including Billboard, Guitar Player, Guitar Shop, InTune, and Musician's Planet.
Along the way, he wrote two documentary films--one of which was nominated for an Emmy Award--and created technology entries for Microsoft's Encarta encyclopedia, while writing architecture and travel pieces for The New York Press. He wrote more books, and oversaw development of numerous publications.
Meanwhile, his work was cited and reviewed in The New York Times, The Economist, Variety, The Los Angeles Times, The Wall Street Journal, and hundreds of other publications around the world. He won some awards in the process.
Newquist's books cover the same array of topics as his magazine articles, from brain science and space exploration to legendary guitarists and the strangeness of the Internet. To date, he has written over two dozen books. And he's already committed to writing many more.
