Brian Dear worked on his first book over the course of 32 years, in-between technology startup companies. The result was released by Pantheon in 2017: "The Friendly Orange Glow: The Untold Story of the PLATO System and the Dawn of Cyberculture." It's a computer history that Silicon Valley would prefer you not know. So therefore you should definitely check it out. When not doing startup companies or mentoring startup founders, Dear is probably working on music. A project for 2018 involves recording dozens of cover versions of songs in unusual arrangements and worldwide genres and styles. Dear is an avid reader, consuming a few dozen nonfiction books per year, and occasional novels. He's nearing the end of the 4700-page History of the Second World War by Winston Churchill. He's a huge fan of Robert Caro and has read all of his books and recommends them highly. Dear lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
