Steve Truitt is an avid space enthusiast, a NASA history student, and a collector of flown-in-space memorabilia—because owning objects that have literally left Earth is, in his opinion, the only reasonable way to live. A proud member of both the National Space Society and the Planetary Society, Steve also boasts the enviable distinction of having met five moonwalkers. Television audiences may recognize Steve from his years as a Los Angeles TV news anchor and from hosting multiple science and technology series, including NatGeo’s The Human Edge, Discovery Channel’s Cool Stuff: How It Works, Dream Decoders, Ground Rules!, and Sony PlayStation’s annual coverage of the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3). Though “not really an actor”—his words, not ours—Steve is a famously huge Star Trek fan who once launched a years-long letter-writing campaign begging Paramount Studios for a cameo on any show with Star Trek in the title. Persistence paid off: he ultimately delivered a single line on Star Trek: Enterprise (Season 3, Episode 21). It is, by all accounts, breathtaking. (Just don’t blink.) He is also the co-creator and co-host of Energize! A Star Trek Podcast, where he and his co-host dive deep into every warp-drive-worthy detail of modern Star Trek series, including Picard, Strange New Worlds, and Lower Decks. As a producer, Steve co-created and co-produced the acclaimed documentary series Born Schizophrenic, which earned him and his team the CINE Foundation’s Golden Eagle Award for Excellence in documentary television. Now a sought-after coach, trainer, and motivational speaker, Steve is also the author of the award-winning Stop Waiting for Permission!, which earned the Reader Views Prize for Best Motivational Book of the Year. Steve’s passion for connection, consciousness, and the future of human thought finds its fullest expression in his fiction. He is the author of The MindSet Chronicles, a near-future sci-fi trilogy exploring technology, trust, and the fragile boundaries of human perception: Book One: The Deletion — A post-AI world battles disconnection as Bethany Anne Okoyé and Peter Eriksson confront the promise and peril of a radical new tool of interconnection: MindSet. Book Two: The Awakening — As MindSet evolves, so do the forces determined to control it, pushing society toward a crisis no one fully understands. Book Three: The Benevolent — The stunning conclusion, in which the truth behind the MindSet universe—and the very nature of consciousness itself—is revealed in a reality-bending finale. Steve lives in Los Angeles with his wife and four daughters, who lovingly tolerate his encyclopedic space trivia, his overflowing memorabilia shelves, and his unwavering belief that Star Trek is a blueprint for a better future.
