Finally, I owe absolutely everything in the world to my amazing parents. They birthed me, raised me, brought me to the US, and have served as outstanding role models my entire life. Thank you, Mom and Dad! You’re the best.

He spent 13 years at Microsoft,where he led teams working on email, web browsing, search, and artificial intelligence.

When not writing, Ramez has climbed mountains, leapt over and occasionally descended into crevasses, worked as a lifeguard, backpacked through remote corners of China, ridden his bike down hundreds of miles of the Vietnam coast, chased sharks and eagle rays through the ocean depths, clambered over ancient ruins, and blown things up in the desert.

He really should know better.
