Stewart Brand

Stewart Brand bridged the 1960s counterculture and Silicon Valley, editing the Whole Earth Catalog and shaping how technology was understood by a generation. He has spent decades thinking about the relationship between technology, architecture, and nature, living much of his life on a tugboat as a living experiment in maintenance.
