About the author
Richard Thieme (Thieme, Richard, 1944– ) is an American writer and speaker born in 1944, known for his long-standing attention to issues of technology, intelligence, and security. The library currently holds only one of his works, Pleasant Journey, and publicly available information is limited, making it difficult to establish a complete picture of his career or the full range of his writing. Based on what is available, his work tends to explore the tensions between technological development and social security, with an emphasis on public-facing explanation and commentary; his speaking engagements appear to serve the same broad focus. For an author who moves between writing and speaking, his works may best be read as an entry point into these issues rather than as systematic treatises in a specialized field. His choice of subjects reflects a sustained concern with real-world problems, and his style leans toward conveying specialist topics in accessible language.
