After a false career start producing flash games, Alan Martin has been writing about phones, wearables and internet culture for over a decade. Previously deputy editor of Alphr, his words can now be found all over the web, on the likes of Tom's Guide, TechRadar, NME, The New Statesman and ShortList, as well as in the odd magazine and national newspaper column too. He's rarely seen not wearing at least one smartwatch, can talk your ear off about political biographies, and is a long-suffering fan of Derby County FC (which, on balance, he'd rather not talk about).
