Robert Spencer Knotts
| Robert Spencer Knotts has followed a highly varied career path that included 14 years as an award-winning journalist in both broadcast and print, work that often involved lengthy solo investigations into dangerous auto safety problems, backroom land deals and fraudulent medical operations. Since then, he has authored many plays and books, both fiction and non-fiction, and recently completed the script for an innovative Internet film that has attracted interest from the National Science Foundation, among others. This futuristic film, Empath 52 Equals You, is the first union of a traditional story with true human-computer interactivity and deals with themes addressed by The Humanity Project. He is among fewer than 50,000 Americans whose biography appears in both the Marquis “Who’s Who in America" and “Who’s Who in the World” reference books.
