When David was 29, he followed Joseph Campbell's advice to ''follow your bliss'' and quit his corporate job and started writing. Now he is co-editor of the media watch website Media Lens. He is the author of ‘A Short Book About Ego... and the Remedy of Meditation’, which will be published by Mantra Books later this month. His first novel, ‘The Man With No Face’, a dystopian, Chomskyan, mystical science fiction thriller, will be published by Roundfire Books in 2026. David has published five other books on political, philosophical and spiritual themes. In 2007, Media Lens was awarded The Gandhi Foundation’s International Peace Prize. Media Lens has 72,000 followers on X.
