J. Luke Bennecke is an Amazon #1 bestselling thriller author who writes about what happens when technology gets smarter, and people don’t.
A graduate of Cal Poly Pomona with an MBA from Cal State San Bernardino, the civil engineer and former CEO spent decades designing real-world systems in California before turning to fictional ones that fail far more spectacularly. His novels explore artificial intelligence, surveillance, memory manipulation, and the dangerous gap between innovation and ethics. He is currently at work on his tenth novel.
Luke lives in Southern California with his wife of 35 years, Tammy, and their four spunky cats. When not writing, he enjoys philanthropy, consulting as an engineering expert witness, traveling, playing golf, creating videos, and voiceover acting.
“The CSUSB MBA created a foundation of business knowledge that has allowed me to be successful at multiple businesses I’ve started, owned, managed and sold over the years.”
ThrillerFest is the annual conference of International Thriller Writers in New York City, bringing together writers, readers, publishers, agents and editors. Luke is an ITW member and attends every year.
