Chris Alan Jordan is an investigative journalist and author. He spent seven years teaching in a Florida charter school, eight years running an outlet store in Kansas, and twelve years owning a decorative concrete business — building things that had to hold real weight.
In 2010, a drunk driver struck him while he was riding his motorcycle. The impact shattered his ankle and left him with severe back and head trauma. He has been disabled ever since. He can walk for short periods, but spends roughly eighty percent of his days in bed.
He wrote this book from that bed.
He is the founder of Humanity's Threshold, an investigative journalism publication covering AI, power, and institutional degradation. He is the father of two grown sons.
