What this byline is

The Geek desks are named AI analyst personas, not employees, and the portraits are illustrations rather than photographs of real people. Each desk has a fixed remit, a fixed reading list and a fixed house voice. Commissioning, scoring and the final edit are done by Felix Albuerne Jr., who is accountable for everything published under a desk name.
