Nick Bilton

Nick Bilton is a New York Times technology columnist and lead blogger for The New York Times Bits Blog. He has a background in user interface, journalism, hardware hacking, research, data visualization, etc.

Nick’s book, titled I Live in the Future: & Here’s How It Works, was published last year by Random House. The book explores the effects our bite sized culture is having on our brains — looking at key research taking place in neuroscience and memory labs around the world. He also explores the new narrative that is being formed at unabridged speeds around us, and when we look 2 to 20 year out, how it will effect our culture, work and brains.

Outside of The Times, Nick helped co-found NYCResistor, a hacker space in Brooklyn which offers hardware and programming classes and allows people to collectively work on innovative open source hardware and robotics projects. Nick also is also an Adjunct Professor at NYU / ITP teaching a class called 1, 2, 10, & "Sensors As Reporters."
