  Ross, J. Andrew (1949) is a freelance writer and philosopher based in Germany. He holds degrees in philosophy from Oxford University (M.A., 1972; M.Phil., 1976; M.Litt., 1980) and the University of London (M.Sc., 1974). He wrote three theses: on the logical foundations of probability theory, on incompleteness in arithmetic and set theory, and on the foundations of formal semantic theory. From 1976 to 1987, he taught logic and philosophy at Oxford University, worked as an administrative civil servant in London, then taught English in Shizuoka City, Japan, and mathematics and physics in London. From 1987 to 1998, he edited physics and computer science books at Springer-Verlag in Heidelberg, Germany. From 1999 to 2009, he worked as a developer at SAP in Walldorf, Germany. He attended international conferences on the science of consciousness and published two books: SAP NetWeaver BI Accelerator (2009), a handbook for users of the SAP software; and Mindworlds – A Decade of Consciousness Studies (2009), collecting his scholarly papers since 1997, six of them previously published in the Journal of Consciousness Studies. In late 2009, he retired from SAP. Since then he has published three books: G.O.D. Is Great – How to Build a Global Organism (2010), about reorganising life on Earth this century; Philosopher (2012), an autobiographical memoir and intellectual history; and Lifeball – Birth of a New God (2012), a reprint of his 1996 science-fiction novel.
