Greg Lindsay is a contributing writer for Fast Company and the author of Aerotropolis: The Way We’ll Live Next, written with John D. Kasarda and set to be published by Farrar, Straus & Giroux in March 2011. Aerotropolis explores the cities native to our globalized era—cities effectively orbiting their airports, rather than the other way around. (It’s available for pre-order now.)

He was previously the media editor at Women’s Wear Daily, a contributing writer for Fortune, and a senior correspondent at Inside.com. He has written for Bloomberg BusinessWeek and Business 2.0, and was an editor-at-large for Advertising Age. His writing has also appeared in Time, Wired, Travel + Leisure, Condé Nast Traveler, I.D., The Guardian, and The Daily Beast. He’s been a presenter at TEDxAtlanta, a juror for I.D.‘s Annual Design Review, and is a frequent public speaker.

He graduated from the University of Illinois with a degree in journalism. Greg is also a two-time Jeopardy! champion.
