JOHN MARKOFF was one of a team of New York Times reporters who won the 2013 Pulitzer Prize for Explanatory Reporting “for its penetrating look into business practices by Apple and other technology companies that illustrates the darker side of a changing global economy for workers and consumers.” He retired from his full-time position with The New York Times on December 1, 2016, but he continues to write long-form journalism and volunteers at the Computer History Museum.
He is the co-author of The High Cost of High Tech (with Lennie Siegel); Cyberpunk: Outlaws and Hackers on the Computer Frontier (with Katie Hafner); and Takedown: The Pursuit and Capture of America's Most Wanted Computer Outlaw (with Tsutomu Shimomura). He is the author of What the Dormouse Said, Machines of Loving Grace, and Whole Earth.
