Author: Ian Anderson
Prior to joining thepurplebook, Ian Anderson spent several years working in the dot-com industry, both at production and executive levels, bearing witness to the industry’s boom and crash from the inside and out. Though he spent many long days assessing the merit of web sites and overseeing their construction, Mr. Anderson always strived to put his creative writing degree to good use. This is one of many reasons he’s enthusiastic to be a part of thepurplebook, where he has had the opportunity to contribute the best elements of both his personal and professional educations on a daily basis.

Ian Anderson considers thepurplebook to be more than a simple shopping guide. Among other things, he views it as a compilation of brief essays detailing the utility of e-commerce, a compendium of short fiction satirizing the foibles of virtual reality, and a collection of poems that express moments of sublime web browsing. Mr. Anderson balances his work with a variety of extra-curricular projects including poetry, short fiction, sports features, screenwriting and children’s literature.
