Ronan O'Driscoll About Page
Hi! My name is Ronan O’Driscoll. I am the author of the following novels:
I have also been a computer programmer for many years. My latest novel, BASIC Instinct, is my reflection on the life of a developer. Starting in late 70s Ireland, through IT’s beginnings in 80s Chicago, to the 90s and 00s Dublin of the Celtic Tiger rise and crash. The story ends with the protagonist facing difficult choices working for a secretive surveillance software company in present-day Nova Scotia.
My hope is this history sheds light on the world we live in, dominated by software. How did we get here? What kind of people made it possible? BASIC Instinct contains surprising revelations of some of the people and trends behind the companies that dominate the headlines of today and the future.
