Mr. Cringely has become a household name throughout the industry, where he has been known for his wit, insight, and irreverence. All of these qualities were evident in his 1992 national best-seller Accidental Empires: How the Boys of Silicon Valley Make Their Millions, Battle Foreign Competition and Still Can't Get a Date. The book became the basis for Triumph of the Nerds, the highly acclaimed three-hour miniseries that was a runaway success for PBS in 1996 and was viewed in more than 30 countries.
Robert Cringely has fascinated PBS viewers with Triumph of the Nerds, Y2K: The Winter of Our Disconnect, Digital TV: A Cringely Crash Course, Electric Money, Plane Crazy, and Nerds 2.0.1: A Brief History of the Internet. His PBS documentaries have aired in more than 60 countries. His "Weekly Technification" column on PBS.org offers readers valuable insight, wit, and humor.
Mr. Cringely is one of the most admired tech bloggers in the nation, with two million monthly followers. His work has appeared in Newsweek, Forbes, Upside, Success, and Worth magazines and he is an ongoing Op-Ed writer for The New York Times. He runs his own high tech consulting business and he is a well-known and popular speaker. His accomplishments are the result of the skillful blending of his journalistic and computer capabilities.
Supported by Research in Motion (Blackberry) and Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, Mr. Cringely recently embarked on a 9-week, 11,000 mile tour to visit tech startup companies across America. Cringely's NOT in Silicon Valley Startup Tour will become a 39-part Web and 13-part TV series for CNBC.
From Triumph of the Nerds to his soon-to-debut CNBC series, Robert X. Cringely is still "the man with his finger on the very latest on the high tech scene."
