About the Book

Oh, how hard it is to do the right thing! Follow the Analyst as he navigates the philosophical challenges, intellectual puzzles and growing mission creep of nominating kill/capture targets for Special Operations Forces in Afghanistan. Stay with the Analyst as he is brought into a highly classified, futuristic program that puts him front and center in watching his recommendations play out in real time, forced to confront the consequences of his too-clever-by-half methodologies. How will he change? Or will he? Approved for public release by the US Department of Defense, A Less Vivid Future sits at the intersection of leadership and failure, of agency and structure: how hard it is to do the right thing, when the pressures in place are defining success in a way you know is fundamentally wrong. In 2015, J. Edward Conway co-wrote the textbook for conducting intelligence analysis in combat zones; A Less Vivid Future is the fictional, conceptual challenge to the assumptions that underlie that work.
About the Author: J. Edward Conway is a former targeting analyst for the US Department of Defense. He deployed twice to Iraq, first to Baghdad in 2007 as a member of the Iraq Threat Finance Cell, and then again in 2009 to Balad as the threat finance analyst for a Special Operations Joint Task Force. His opinions and analysis have been printed in forums such as The Wall Street Journal and Foreign Affairs, and his research published in various peer reviewed journals. He is the co-editor of a textbook for incoming intelligence analysts, Counterterrorism and Threat Finance Analysis During Wartime (2015). Conway studied at Davidson College in North Carolina and the University of St Andrews in Scotland. He lives abroad, but he spends as much time as he can along the farm coast of southeastern Massachusetts.
