Description: Though perhaps best known as a writer, Stewart Brand is primarily an inventor and designer. Trained as a biologist and army officer, he was an early multimedia artist. Brand has created a number of lasting institutions, including New Games Tournaments and the Hackers Conference. He is, with Daniel Hillis, Kevin Kelly, Esther Dyson and Brian Eno (among others), a founding member of the Long Now Foundation. He also co-founded the Global Business Network.

Both organizations are dedicated to fostering "the art of the long view."
