Andri Ottósson has spent twenty-six years working with signal — as an audio and broadcast engineer, as a network operations technician monitoring Iceland's fiber-optic and submarine-cable infrastructure, and, for the past fourteen years, as a network specialist behind one of Iceland's best-known destinations. He holds a degree in Information Technology. The Reboot Process is what emerged when he turned a career's worth of diagnostic instinct — the discipline of finding what makes a signal fail — onto the question of human consciousness. He lives in Reykjavík.
