John Gleed
John Gleed is a retired high-tech executive now living in Morrisburg, Ontario, Canada on the Canadian shores of the St. Lawrence River, bordering New York State. He has always been interested in apocalyptic fiction about what might happen if a worldwide catastrophic disaster occurred. Day of the Triffids by John Wyndham, No Blade of Grass by John Christopher, On the Beach by Neville Shute and The Stand by Stephen King are among his favorite novels.
He was born and grew up in the small village of Dishforth in rural North Yorkshire, England. He emigrated to Canada in 1969. He spent most of his high tech career in Ottawa, Canada with Nortel and Systemhouse and he was a founder of the Canadian software company, JetForm Corporation. He retired in 2002 when the company was taken over by Adobe.
In talking about his new novel, John Gleed said, “Have you ever dreamed about a world where you can live wherever you want, without regard to what you can afford? Have you wished that you could go into any store and just take what you wanted no matter what the price sticker said? This is the kind of world in which the subjects in my story find themselves ... but this freedom came at such a great cost.”
