Kai Üwe, Canada
Two decades in the I.T. industry has given Kai Uwe an understanding of how humans and robots will interact and evolve together that he did not see in modern science fiction. He believes the correct rank for Star Trek Captains is as follows: Kirk, Picard, Pike, Sisko, Janeway, and that guy in the mechanic’s overalls. Proudly cynical and happily skeptical, he admits he needs to get past being angry at poorly designed machine interfaces. He lives in Calgary, Alberta with his wife and their cat, but no monkey because that’s too much work, apparently.
