Shimon Edelman was born at the height of the Cold War in a global empire that eventually proved to be a figment of its own imagination. His subsequent peripathetics left him fluent in several languages, but without the ability to speak a single one without an accent (writing is another matter). Trained as an electrical engineer, he was turned by a clever book about the brain and became a reverse engineer, applying conceptual tools from computer science to understanding the mind. He teaches at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York.
