I’m Chris Deaton—a storyteller, technologist, and professor at Arizona State University. With over 30 years in IT and a decade in academia, I’ve spent my career exploring the intersection of technology, ethics, and imagination. I founded the Responsible Innovation Lab to push the boundaries of creative and ethical problem-solving in a rapidly evolving world. As the creator of SolHaven, I build interconnected realms where magic, technology, and shadow forces shape the future. My writing spans middle-grade adventures, political satire, and philosophical essays, all centered on responsible innovation, ethical leadership, and the power of belief. I’m always looking for new ways to merge storytelling, technology, and big ideas—because the best stories don’t just entertain; they make us think. 📩 Let’s connect: chris@chrisdeaton.com
