Career

Leonard is the author of a book, Bots: The Origin of New Species, which the New York Times called a "playful social history of the internet".[5] According to Christopher Lehmann-Haupt, also writing in the Times, the book is "deceptively profound".[4] Bots was one of the first few books published by Wired's nonfiction publishing venture HardWired, launched in 1996.[6]
For six years[7] as a financial analyst for Salon.com,[8] Leonard wrote a blog, How the World Works, covering topics such as speculation in the oil market,[9] the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act,[10] and immigration reform.[11]
Leonard has written extensively on Internet culture[12] and science fiction.[13][14] His work includes a series of articles which identified a pseudonymous Wikipedia editor as novelist Robert Clark Young.[15]
Leonard is the son of John Leonard, an American literary, television, film, and cultural critic.[16]
