About Stowe Boyd

source: Ken Yeung

My principal obsession is the ecology of work and the anthropology of the future.

My approach is to combine research, analytic and conjectural frameworks, and futures scenarios and other tools to help clients answer their most strategic questions.

I'm the founder of workfutures.io, and the editor and chief contributor to the workfutures.io newsletter.

I've been studying work and work technology for the past three decades. Along the way I coined the terms ‘hashtag’^[1], ‘work management’, 'work technology', ‘social tools’, 'publicy', 'work media', 'work processing', and ‘spreadbase’.

I reside in the Hudson River valley, near New York. I also write about knowledge and notetaking at workings.co, and here on politics, culture, economics, and science.
