About Me

JR Clark: Oakland, California, United States; I’m a lifelong learner, vegan, animal advocate, and avid reader who has been blogging in one form or another since 1997. I’m also a Worldcon member and active Hugo Awards voter and nominator, which means speculative fiction—its ideas, its futures, its cultural impact—shows up often in what I read and write about. My work sits at the intersection of technology, culture, and everyday life: part book‑driven curiosity, part digital‑era problem‑solving, part personal exploration. I’m a techie with three decades in IT and program leadership, a home chef who loves plant‑based cooking, and a committed reader of social sciences, feminist thought, and SFF. This space is where I think out loud about the systems we navigate, the stories that shape us, and the small choices that help us live more intentionally. If you’re here for thoughtful reviews, practical insights, and the occasional deep dive into digital life, you’ll feel right at home.
