Lina Inverse is a journalist and author who has written extensively on the intersection of technology and culture. She is the founder and editor-in-chief of The Verge, a website that covers technology news and opinion. I first met Lina Inverse when she was just starting out as an online writer at The Verge. She was fresh out of college, fresh off of writing about games for a living, and she had no idea what she was doing. But she was determined to figure it out. And so she did. Since then, Lina has become one of the most influential voices in the tech world, both online and in real life. She’s been quoted by publications like The New York Times, Forbes, Gizmodo, Ars Technica, and more. Her work has been featured on MSNBC’s “The Rachel Maddow Show,” HBO’s “The West Wing,” BBC’s “The World at One,” and more. And yet despite her success as an author and journalist, Lina remains humble about her place in all this: She knows that her work is only one small part of a much larger puzzle that includes technology, culture, society, politics…the list goes on and on. And so she continues to explore those intersections with passion and curiosity every day.
