About the author
Born in Australia in 1941, Richard Neville became widely known as a co-founder and editor of Oz, the irreverent magazine that made its mark first in Australia and then in Britain. The magazine became a symbol of the counterculture, and Neville emerged as one of its most visible and controversial figures.
Beyond magazine editing, he wrote books and worked as a journalist, commentator, and self-described futurist. His writing often explored big social changes, from cultural rebellion and media freedom to the way new technology might reshape everyday life.
Neville died in 2016. He is remembered as a lively, provocative presence in public life whose career captured the spirit of an era while continuing to ask where society might be headed next.
