About Mike Curtis

Mike started out as an academic mathematician and computer scientist before succumbing to the urge to build things and becoming a software engineer. He is a lifelong socialist and since retirement has tried, in a small way, to shine some light through the fog of misinformation and disinformation that surrounds us. He likes to use poetry for its direct path to emotions, to stimulate the search for truth. He can be found on twitter @thecyberred, Facebook as thecybersocialist, and the occasional essay at www.thecybersocialist.red. He may also be contacted directly at mike[at]thecybersocialist.red.
