Review the Fable KickstarterSimon J. Hill has spent a lifetime at the intersection of technology, philosophy, and storytelling. Oxford-educated and relentlessly curious, he has worn many hats over the years—software engineer, product strategist, startup founder, and sometime philosopher—always circling the same essential questions: What does it mean to live a meaningful life? How do we grow as individuals and as a species? And why does it so often feel like the universe itself is in on the joke?
Hill's career spans Silicon Valley startups, blockchain innovation, social gaming platforms, and machine learning-driven dating apps—each an unlikely proving ground for the ideas he explores in What a Mind Fuck, and, How Wonderful!. Along the way, he has drawn on his lifelong study of cultural history, comparative mythology, and evolutionary psychology to make sense of modern life's strange, chaotic beauty.
His work, including the immersive journaling app Fable, reflects his conviction that the Hero's Journey and the Golden Rule aren't just ancient myths or moral slogans—they're the twin engines of human evolution, calling us to transcend the adversarial and become protagonists in a shared, unfolding story.
British by birth, American by naturalization, and global in outlook, Hill lives in Colorado. He is the father of two, a lover of poetry, a survivor of startups, and a connoisseur of both absurd humor and profound questions. When not writing or building things, he can usually be found debating thermodynamics, playing with narrative game mechanics, or nursing a glass of wine while reading sad poetry on a Friday night.
