Spencer Hey lives in Boston, Massachusetts with his lovely and brilliant wife and their lovely and brilliant dog. He has a PhD in philosophy and worked as an academic for about 10 years, exploring questions of ethics, science, and technology. A life-long lover of fantasy and sci-fi—whether in books, games, or movies—fantastic world-building has always been a passion of his. For 35 years or so, this passion was limited to sketches and documents and small game demos that few people ever saw. The books of the hyperArcana are his first efforts to share the passion and bring these worlds to readers.
