Rowan Voss is a technologist-turned-storyteller who writes about the crossroads of AI, society, and design. After a decade building service robots and edge-compute systems, Rowan left the lab to translate complex engineering and ethical questions into clear, imaginative narratives. Their work investigates how emergent technologies reshape daily life — from the ethics of recommendation engines to the subtle social choreography of smart spaces.

Rowan blends hands-on technical experience with a habit of asking 'what if' — what if homes learned to grieve, what if cities negotiated resource markets, what if algorithms learned to ask for consent. They contribute thoughtful essays, practical explainers, and scenario-driven features that help readers anticipate practical implications and policy choices. When not writing, Rowan mentors young engineers, composes modular synth music, and bikes through coastal fog looking for new story sparks.
