Steve Silberman is an award-winning science writer and the author of The New York Times best-selling NeuroTribes: The Legacy of Autism and the Future of Neurodiversity, which unearths the secret history of autism. Among many other major awards, the book received the Samuel Johnson Prize for Non-Fiction—the first popular science book to win the prize in its 17-year history—and is now translated into 16 languages. Silberman’s articles on science, music, art, and culture have appeared in Wired, The New Yorker, The MIT Technology Review,_ and many other publications. As a young man, Silberman worked as a teaching assistant to poet Allen Ginsberg. He also coproduced the Grateful Dead’s box set So Many Roads (1965-1995), which was Rolling Stone’s Box Set of the Year.
