He and his work have been featured in hundreds of news outlets, including The New York Times, Washington Post, Entrepreneur Magazine, USA Today, Reader’s Digest, NPR, and the LA Times Magazine. Byron holds numerous patents and has started and sold multiple companies, including two NASDAQ IPOs. Byron’s book explores the intersection of technology, history and technology, and how that intersection has defined our past and continues to influence our tomorrows.

In his latest book “Stories, Dice, and Rocks That Think,” Byron argues that our ability to imagine the future and recall the past allowed us to escape the perpetual present that all other living creatures are trapped in. Byron has also authored "Wasted, How We Squander Time, Money, and Natural Resources and What We Can Do About It'," "The Fourth Age: Smart Robots, Conscious Computers and the Future of Humanity," and "Infinite Progress, How the Internet and Technology Will End Ignorance, Disease, Poverty, Hunger, and War."

In Byron’s upcoming book, "We Are Agora," Byron looks at superorganisms, such as ant hills and bee colonies, and considers if humans could also be part of a superorganism. He asks, are we unknowingly parts of the inner workings of a larger being? And, if so? As our cells fail to understand us, are we also unaware of what compels our behavior?
