COMING SOON - EARLY 2026

Hal's next book explores how digital tools are fundamentally reshaping human communities and collective behavior. While his first book examined technology's impact on the individual mind, this new work turns to the profound ways technology transforms how we connect, influence each other.

Hal is an insatiably curious explorer with a knack for turning “what if” into “what’s next.” His journey weaves through a unique blend of business, computer science, and psychology, giving him a perspective that breaks conventional boundaries.

Hal is the kind of person who tries everything at least once (and sometimes twice, just to be sure!). An extrovert who loves solving problems and thinking outside the box – some might even call him a troublemaker, but he prefers the term “innovator.”

With a background that’s a bit of a mix – business, computer science, and psychology – Hal brings an interesting perspective to the world. He lives by a simple mantra: feel good, laugh, and focus on being better, not just becoming better. For him, it’s all about action and experience.
