Joshua Klein is a technologist who utilizes systems thinking to create alternative methods of succeeding in various fields. He is most well known for his project designed to train crows to fetch lost change, but has also used this method to write three books, participate in numerous startups, work for the US Intelligence Community, and speak at conferences such as Davos and TED. Klein’s three books are titled Roo’d, a science fiction novel, Hacking Work, a business book about how employees could break rules (“Hack”) to empower themselves and their company, and You Are the Product: How to Survive and Thrive-in the Era of Reputation Economics. Klein hosted a television series called The Link on The National Geographic Channel. The show educated audiences on the history of human innovation, tracing the connections between the world’s greatest inventions in art, science, medicine, finance and more, from ancient times up to the present day. Each episode spanned a dozen or so technologies, and traced how each one was dependent on the capabilities provided by the one before it. Klein's speeches and articles often focus on hacking as a theme, in which he reappropriates the term from its common misconception (as executing malicious computer attacks) to instead highlight the unconventional reworking of existing systems (systems thinking) for mutual benefit. This theme is elaborated on in his speeches to explain how he was able to accomplish feats such as publishing a book by giving it away for free, training crows to fetch coins, and reworking the employee/employer relationship..
