For nearly 10 years, Michael Bremer was the head writer, editor, writing manager and Director of Creative Services at Maxis Software (the SimCity(C) Company). He developed, tested, tuned and taught ways to clearly, simply, quickly and enjoyable communicate complex technical information to normal (non-nerd) people. Bremer is the author of two books (UnTechnical Writing and The User Manual Manual) that share his hard-earned knowledge with other writers.
Now, through the Advice From the Neighborhood Nerd series of books and Taming the Electronic Beast, his writing style, techniques and humor are available to the general consumer audience, to help simplify and humanize computers and technology.
