Steven Levy (born 1951) is an American journalist who has written several books on computers, technology, cryptography, the Internet, cybersecurity, and privacy. ==Career== Levy is the editor-in-chief of the tech hub for Medium. Previously he was senior writer for ''Wired'', following a dozen years as chief technology writer and a senior editor for ''Newsweek''. Levy has had articles published in ''Harper's'', ''Macworld'', ''The New York Times Magazine'', ''The New Yorker'', ''Premiere'', and ''Rolling Stone''. He is regarded as a prominent and respected critic of Apple Inc. In July 2004, Levy wrote a cover story (which also featured an interview with Apple CEO Steve Jobs) which unveiled the 4th generation of the iPod to the world before Apple had officially done so, an unusual event since Apple is well known for its tight-lipped press policy. In 1984, he wrote a book called ''Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution'', in which he described a "hacker ethic", which became a guideline to understanding how computers have advanced into the machines that we know and use today. He identified this Hacker Ethic to consist of key points such as that all information is free, and that this information should be used to "change life for the better". Levy won the "Computer Press Association Award" for a report he co-wrote in 1998 on the Year 2000 problem. Levy was a contributor to Stewart Brand's Whole Earth Software Catalog, first published in 1984. In 1978, Steven Levy rediscovered Albert Einstein's brain in the office of the pathologist who removed and preserved it.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Einstein's Brain )〕 Levy received his bachelor's degree from Temple University and earned a Master's degree in literature from Pennsylvania State University.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=About Steven Levy )〕 He lives in New York City with his wife, Pulitzer Prize winner Teresa Carpenter, and son. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Steven Levy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
