Charles Pappas

Charles Pappas is a senior writer at Exhibitor magazine, where for the last 20+ years he has explored the unique history of exhibiting. His books, "Nobody Sits Like the French," "Expo 2020: The Definitive Edition," and

“Flying Cars, Zombie Dogs, and Robot Overlords,” show how, when the world wants to see what the future will bring, it looks to world expos and trade shows.

Pappas is also the author of "It's a Bitter Little World," a collection of the most go-for-the-jugular quotes from film noir. If you want to know the meaning of life, don't study Shakespeare, don't peruse Plato. Everything you need to know in life you can learn from film noir.
