Biofuels is John Alic’s fourth (and shortest) book, following Trillions for Military Technology: How the Pentagon Innovates and Why It Costs So Much and, as co-author, New Rules for a New Economy: Employment and Opportunity in Postindustrial America and Beyond Spinoff: Military and Commercial Technologies in a Changing World. Alic left a tenured university position in the late 1970s to direct projects at the congressional Office of Technology Assessment. The first of these, U.S. Industrial Competitiveness: A Comparison of Steel, Electronics, and Automobiles, helped set patterns for many subsequent studies of industry sectors and international competition. Since the closure of OTA in 1995 Alic has consulted for government and nonprofits and continued to write on technological change. He has degrees from Cornell, Stanford, and the University of Maryland.
