Someone once told Christopher J. Driver that he had "gentle eyes." Chris loves sci-fi movies, wrote his master's thesis on Blade Runner and finds Soderbergh's version of Solaris underrated. The Star Wars prequels are dead to him, but he really liked THX-1138. Chris loves the work of Terry Gilliam, thinks Michael Keaton was the best Batman and that Grosse Pointe Blank and Planes, Trains and Automobiles are masterpieces.

Today, Chris writes a variety of content for a digital advertising agency. He has written marketing materials for software developers and worked as a technical writer in the healthcare field. He has published freelance, academic and popular culture works, edited a variety of books and essays and continues to author a wide range of content. Above all, he considers his writing skills versatile and hopes to one day actually earn a living writing for (or on) books, film, music, games and comics. HARDBARNED! is his first book.
