Ms. Hafner was born in Rochester, N.Y. on December 5, 1957. She attended the University of California at San Diego (B.A. in German Literature, 1979) and Columbia University (M.S. in Journalism, 1981).
She has worked a number of beats, including Computerworld, Business Week, Newsweek, the San Diego Union, and the New York Times, where she has been a Technology Correspondent. She has a number of books to her name, and has made numerous appearances on television in the capacity of a technology writer and expert.
She has been married at least twice, to New York Times reporter John Markoff (who is profiled elsewhere in Liar, Liar) and to Matthew Lyon. In both cases, she has collaborated with her husbands on books about technology, as described below.
BOOKS
Ms. Hafner has written four books as of the present:
Three of these four books concern themselves with technology; the first book ("House at the Bridge") is an outgrowth of her interest in German issues and literature (her first major) and her time spent living in Germany. I have no commentary on its accuracy or content.
