About the Authors
Adrian McEwen is a creative technologist and entrepreneur based in
Liverpool. He has been connecting devices to the Internet since 1995—rst
cash registers, then mobile phones, and now bubble machines and lamps. He
founded MCQN Ltd., an Internet of ings product agency and (along with
Hakim and others) is co-founder of DoES Liverpool, a hybrid co-working/
makerspace that incubates Internet of ings startups in NW England. He is
also CTO of Good Night Lamp, a family of Internet-connected lamps. He
was one of the rst employees at STNC Ltd, which built the rst web
browser for mobile phones and was acquired by Microso in 1999. Adrian
concentrates on how the Internet of ings intersects with people’s lives and
how heterogeneous networks of devices should work together, and lectures
and speaks on these issues internationally. You can nd him on the Internet

For Jean, Les, and Christine, and in memory of Karen.
