Worsley was born in 1978 in Sacramento, California, but has spent the last twenty years in idyllic Portland, Oregon. His passion from an early age lay in self-taught creative endeavors such as drawing, writing, and composing typically moody, adolescent music on the family piano. In addition to compulsively and self-consciously writing about himself in the third-person, his credits include having attended a mostly futile year of college at the University of Oregon, having released electronic music under the monikers lxl, xszi, and 12:24, co-founding a successful technology company, writing a 600-page book on SQL, developing Yet Another Superfluous Three-Letter Web Language, contributing 3D graphics and programming to Gus Van Sant's Elephant.

The book relies heavily on the notion that men and women are as different as beings from other planets. When discussing relations with the opposite sex, one often hears the complaint, "It's like she's from another planet!" Gray adopts this metaphor as the central theme of all his books and seminars, likening men and women to the classical Greek god Mars and goddess Venus as ideal types.

Now comes a biography of this controversial genius and an exploration of his greatest idea--one that nearly triggered a nuclear war in 1950. Photographs.
