Alain was born in Pretoria, South Africa, in 1981. A City of Johannesburg native, he has crafted a career in information technology for over 24 years. He is a verbose character with a healthy sense of cynicism and a keen eye for bullshit and detail. Alain enjoys a varied existence comprised of inner war, motorcycles, creativity, corporate hatred, and a tremendous curiosity about all that is, creative or mechanical.

Alain is a self-published first time author. The words in this book are a treatise on his observation of himself and others, spanning 40+ years.
