After dropping out of college to focus on video production and graphic design, David Samuel Allen decided to become a strength coach. After deciding to no longer be a strength coach, he went back to college, which resulted in a Master’s degree in mathematics. He now works as a freelance n’importe quoi in Southwest France, where he lives with his wife and three children.
In addition to technical writing, he has worked as a ghostwriter for art experts, published several short stories, and — possibly most notably — been featured on McSweeney’s Internet Tendency. A Free Will Manifold is his first novel.
