Edward Howard

Edward Howard edits HogaToga's Future Tech desk, covering artificial intelligence, blockchain, Web3 and augmented and virtual reality. He is drawn to the gap between what emerging technology promises and what it actually delivers, and he writes to help readers tell genuine progress from hype.

Edward's explainers break complex topics — how a large language model works, what a blockchain actually is, whether a VR headset is worth buying — into plain language without dumbing them down. He is careful to distinguish established facts from speculation, and he treats reader skepticism as healthy.

Edward is based in Berlin and has strong, well-sourced opinions about which AI tools are useful and which are simply expensive.
