About Professor Hack Harddrive
Professor Hack Harddrive is a voice of sanity crying out in a technological wilderness. He is the tenured Professor of Contemporary Culture at Dubious University with 
advanced degrees in antiquities, nuclear physics, nano-technology, anthropology, biofeedback, medicine, meditation, paleontology, poetry and computer science. He was voted Favorite Professor of the Year four times by Dubious students, because they appreciate that he never shies away from controversial issues, and he always has much wit and wisdom to share. His uniquely diversified knowledge makes him the perfect Poetic Commentator-in-Chief as he attempts to
shine a light on what’s going on today, to save the world for tomorrow.
As some of you may have suspected, Professor Hack Harddrive has a secret identity, much as Spiderman is Peter Parker and Superman is Clark Kent. When he is not writing poems or teaching at Dubious U, Professor Hack Harddrive is actually Paul Jeffrey Davids, a Princeton University award-winning poet. He is also a graduate of the American Film Institute Center for Advanced Film and Television Studies. For several decades, he has worked as a Hollywood film producer, writer and director. He began his career as the production coordinator for Marvel Productions of the original TRANSFORMERS animated television series – 79 episodes – and he wrote some of them too. His film credits as writer, producer and/or director include:
