About

Frances Haugen lives in the Bay Area and spends her time adoring books in digital and analog formats. She works on Google Book Search and would love to hear your thoughts on where we are in the evolution of The Book as a format and a cultural concept.

Top 3 Ideas/Topics/Themes I am obsessed with right now

  • Social Transformation – How do societies change and how can we shape the transformation that is happening today?
  • Verdun/World War I and Pacifism in general – Some people obsess over model trains, I obsess over Verdun…
  • Mischief – Obvious. If you’ve been blessed with the inclination to question authority, you owe it to society to exercise that inclination.

Wink @ Frances

Frances is currently passively single – she adores brilliant, quirky men who want to change the world as much as she does and who appreciate tall women who wear Converses and giggle about CSS and Sartre – but is wrapped up enough in trying to be the greatest librarian in the world that she is not actively seeking them out.
