Biographies

Ziauddin Sardar was not asked to play cricket for Pakistan. So, in an attempt to become an "organic intellectual", he became a writer, broadcaster and cultural critic. He has written Introducing Muhammad, Chaos and Mathematics, Postmodernism and the Other and numerous other books. Sometimes he visits Middlesex University as a professor of science and technology policy.

Sorin Van Loon seems to move between the disparate spheres of art, philosophy, and economic determinism with alarming ease. Having recently directed his first full-length feature: "Eraserhead II Revenge Of The Pencil", he has divided his time between L.A., Bangkok and Saxmundham, with some really exciting projects in development. Before embarking on his new production of "The Ring" cycle, he is currently in the fastness of his country estate finishing his novel.• He also has a rich and detailed fantasy life.
