Clifford Stoll is a U.S. astronomer and author. He received his Ph.D. from University of Arizona in 1980 (the same year he bought that denim shirt). Stoll has written three books and a slew of magazine articles including this one from 1995 published by Newsweek titled “The Internet? Bah!” where Stoll explained why you wouldn’t be reading this some fifteen years later…
Stoll also worked as an engineer for a radio station and a computer cop (he played a major role in catching a big-time hacker in the 1980s.
Today he sells blown glass bottles on the…drum roll, please...internet!! He also teaches eighth-grade physics and is a amateur radio operator (‘cause, as you know, that Ham Radio thing is gonna catch on any day now…)
